Identify Your Assets: Legally Bound Gloucester begin estate planning by making a full list of all of your assets. Including properties, investments, businesses, bank accounts, vehicles, personal belongings, and any other significant possessions.
Consider Your Beneficiaries: We work with you to consider who you want to inherit your assets. This could include family members, friends, charities, or other persons of note.
Draft a Will: A will is a legal document that specifies how you want your assets to be distributed after you pass. You name specific beneficiaries for each asset and designate a personal representative (executor) to manage the distribution process.
Trust Creation:
Trusts are used to transfer assets to beneficiaries while providing specific instructions for how those assets should be managed or distributed. Trusts offer benefits such as asset protection, tax efficiency, and the ability to control the timing and conditions of distributions.
Name Beneficiaries on Accounts: For assets such as retirement accounts, life insurance policies, and bank accounts, you designate beneficiaries directly on the account. These assets will bypass probate and be distributed in line with your wishes.
Review and Update Regularly: We schedule reviews for potential updates to your estate plan periodically. Major life events such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, or changes in assets or relationships often change plans.
