Have you Considered these Estate Planning Options?

Stephanie Thompson, Estate Planning Attorney of Krueger Hernandez & Thompson SC · Jan 9, 2016 ·

estate planning optionsWhen it comes to estate planning, it is good practice to understand and compare all your options. Remember this: what works for one person may not always work for the next. You are in a unique situation, meaning that you have to take a personalized approach to the process.

Many people think of estate planning and the only thing that comes to mind is a will. They believe if they create a will that everything else will fall into place. While this is a good place to start, it is not the end-all for everybody. It is essential to consider other options, such as those that can make your life easier now while saving your loved ones money in the future.

Here are some of the many estate planning options to consider:

  • Revocable living trust
  • Beneficiary designations
  • Life estates
  • Joint ownership
  • Lifetime gifting

Make a Change

If you are creating an estate plan for the first time, everything is on the table. You can do whatever is necessary to ensure that you have peace of mind.

The same holds true if you already have an estate plan in place. You may not be excited about revisiting this process, but a review is never a bad thing. Don’t be surprised if you can make a few changes for the better.

The primary challenge associated with estate planning is a lack of information, experience, and knowledge. Even if you understand the options detailed above, it doesn’t mean you are in position to implement one or more within your estate plan.

To protect yourself against mistakes, consult with an estate planning attorney. Our job is to make your life easier. If you have any questions related to estate planning, regardless of what they may be, we can step in and clear the air. This allows you to better understand your situation and the steps you can take.
