Estate planning tools to secure your family's future:
When we begin our work with you, we ask you a series of questions so we can prepare a tailored plan to suit your specific needs. Your estate plan may include the following tools to manage your wealth and successfully transfer your assets to the beneficiaries you designate:
-Wills
-Living wills
-Codicils
-Durable powers of attorney
-Advance medical directives, including healthcare proxies
-Living trusts/revocable trusts/revocable living trusts
-Irrevocable trusts
-Testamentary trusts
-Life insurance trusts
-Charitable trusts
-Family partnerships and LLCs
-Family estate planning
-IRS representation
-Gifting
Wills and trusts protect your assets and distribute them as you want:
Without a will, the state decides how to distribute your assets, usually to your relatives. But with a legally valid will, you can decide exactly how you want your hard-earned assets to be distributed upon your death. Planning now can ensure your family's financial future. The seasoned attorneys at Walsh & Amicucci LLP can ensure your will meets your needs and will stand up in court after your death. Our approach includes asking you a set of questions to determine your exact wishes. These are not easy decisions to make. We can also make you aware of the financial consequences of each option available to you.
Your estate plan may also include a trust and there are many kinds to consider. Generally speaking, with a trust, a grantor transfers legal ownership of assets to a trustee. The trustee invests and manages those assets for the benefit of your beneficiaries. In preparing your estate plan, we can discuss which trusts might be best for you. Our goal is to maximize your wealth now and transfer it to your beneficiaries when the time comes.
Probate and estate administration:
After a loved one dies, his or her will, if one exists, needs to go through probate, the legal process of estate administration. To begin the process, you must contact your local surrogate's court and follow its procedures. Steps involved in probate include the following:
-Proving in court that your loved one's will is valid
-Identifying and inventorying your loved one's property
-Appraising property
-Paying debts and taxes
-Distributing property as directed by a will
-Transferring title and ownership of assets to the beneficiaries
If no will exists, the state mandates distribution of the estate.
