Indeed, irrespective of your asset size, it’s essential to establish an estate plan. This guarantees that your estate is allocated according to your preferences and offers instructions for your care in the event you are unable to make decisions yourself.
A trust can become effective during a person’s lifetime, offering enhanced management over how assets are allocated, whereas a will specifies the division of possessions after death and has provisions for appointing custodians for minor children.
It is important to re-evaluate and, if necessary, revise your estate plan at intervals of three to five years or in response to major life events such as getting married, getting divorced, welcoming a new child into the family, or experiencing shifts in your financial circumstances.
By conducting routine assessments of your estate plan, you can confirm that it continues to accurately represent your present intentions for your estate.
Working with an estate planning attorney is beneficial to ensure that your will is legally sound and meets state requirements, although it is possible to write your own will with online services.
To guarantee that your estate plan encompasses all of your digital assets, it’s imperative to compile a comprehensive inventory of this digital property. Clarify how you wish them to be dealt with and furnish your chosen asset manager with the necessary credentials for access. By doing so, you can have peace of mind knowing that every element within your array of digital assets will be properly included in your estate and taken care of as per your directives.
