FAQ: Pasadena Estate Planning Lawyer
What assets should be considered when planning your estate?
- Cash in savings accounts and checking accounts
- Retirement savings
- Investment accounts
- Non-liquid assets (stocks, bonds, and mutual funds)
- Life insurance policies
- Digital assets (i.e., cryptocurrency)
- Real estate properties
- Business interests
How often should you revisit your estate plan?
Your estate plan should reflect your wishes at all times. However, your wishes can change every so often. Maybe you no longer want to list someone as a beneficiary or maybe you want to include assets you acquire as a part of your estate plan. It is a good idea to examine your estate plan every three to five years to be sure it still reflects your wishes.
What are the four must-have documents?
- A last will and testament is a legal document that outlines your wishes for your estate and holdings
- A living trust is a document that provides instructions for your lifetime and beyond, including disability, death, and distributions to beneficiaries, and protects them from probate
- A statutory durable power of attorney assigns a trusted individual to handle your finances when you are no longer able
- A medical power of attorney assigns a trusted individual to make medical decisions based on your wishes
Estate planning is unique to you and your wishes. There may be other legal documents in addition to these must-have documents that could benefit your estate.
