Estate planning defines asset distribution after death. A will is a core document, but trusts may be used to manage taxes and protect assets.
A revocable living trust can provide flexibility. It avoids probate for assets placed in the trust.
Gift tax applies to transfers above annual exclusions; not all gifts incur tax due during lifetime.
Tax minimization involves exemptions, trusts, and strategic gifting.
Update documents after major life events and when laws change.
Bring identification, current wills, trusts, financial statements, and beneficiary designations.
Wills may pass through probate unless assets are owned in a way that avoids probate, such as in a trust.
Power of attorney appoints someone to handle finances, while guardianship covers care for minor children in certain situations.
Gifting during life can reduce the size of your estate and lower potential taxes, while preserving some control.
