A Straightforward Guide to Estate Planning..…
We take the pain out of estate planning by giving you a broad overview of what estate planning is and showing you how you can quickly and easily prepare your own estate plan.
In this book, we look at estate planning from two perspectives – manging your estate during any period in which you are incapacitated and dealing with the transfer of your estate once you have passed on.
We introduce you to some of the tools you can use to plan your estate such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, probate free transfers of assets, and more. We'll talk to you about beneficiaries, children, disinheritance, and incapacity. We'll even show you how to reduce the costs and taxes associated with probate and reduce the amount of money paid from your estate to the government.
We will get you thinking about your own personal situation and how you would like to have your affairs organized - and by the end of the process, you will have a solid understanding of estate planning and the techniques involved.
