Estate planning is a very sensitive topic, and many people leave it incomplete or avoid it altogether. However, inadequate estate planning can not only result in unnecessary estate tax obligations, but it can leave survivors and heirs confused and upset about unclear intentions and unrealized promises.
Ivy League Financial Advisors makes sure that estate planning is a part of every comprehensive financial plan—and that it reflects the unique concerns of each client and family. Through extensive discussions that might take place over several years, we help our clients define their inheritance plans and their end-of-life preferences. Then we work with estate planning attorneys (including attorneys who have already been advising our clients) to make sure that legal documents identify those choices clearly and accurately.
Estate planning for our clients in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia includes reviews of these key issues:
One issue that Ivy League Financial Advisors has learned by working with a wide variety of clients is that estate planning is not just for seniors. Everyone needs at least some documentation that will ease the transition for survivors during a difficult time.
For younger clients, an Ivy League Financial Advisors estate plan might be a fairly simple set of documents: a simple will, a living will, and a Durable Power of Attorney. We will also check to make sure that life insurance policies are up-to-date and correctly titled.
For older clients, wills might be more complicated, and trusts or other asset transfer strategies might be developed to reduce estate taxes on inheritance. We will also carefully look at all documents related to transfers of assets after death, in order to avoid probate or other situations in which the disposition of an estate can be delayed.
