FAQ
Estate planning discussions should start when an individual starts accumulating assets.
A will is a tool that will be utilized in a proper estate plan.
Unnecessary delays and costs will occur if a proper will is not in place upon death.
By understanding your highest priorities for wealth distribution upon death, we can ensure the appropriate strategies and tools are utilized.
A will should be reviewed at least every 5 years or upon certain life events (i.e. birth of a child, marriage of a child, breakdown of marriage, death of persons involved, etc.).
There are 3 different sets of “taxes” to be paid upon death:
- Taxes on the deceased individual’s personal return
- Taxes on the estate’s return annually until it is closed
- Estate Administration Tax (aka probate fees) levied on the value of the estate upon the individual’s death
All assets that must be distributed according to the will are included in the estate value.
