Did you know that without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to state laws, not your personal wishes?

This process can be lengthy, stressful, and public, potentially leading to family disputes.

Don't let the state make crucial decisions for you! With an estate plan, you can override the default rules and get your own wishes in writing.

Most of us won’t have an estate like Jimmy Buffett’s. He clearly planned with multiple trusts and unfortunately picked a trustee who seems to be stonewalling his widow (based on the allegations in the article).

➡️ Anyone creating a trust can designate a “trust protector” who can be given the power to remove an unruly trustee without going to court. It sounds like Buffett’s trust did not have such a provision. Your trust should have one!

Jimmy Buffett's widow Jane has filed to remove the co-trustee of her late husband's trust. A close family friend tells PEOPLE that "there's just no way that this is what he would have wanted to happen."

Did you know that part of estate planning is designating guardians for your children in case something were to happen to you and your partner? Choosing permanent (and temporary) guardians for our five children was one of the most compelling reasons for me to work on my own estate plan. Planning for the unthinkable doesn't mean it will happen, but it does mean you will be prepared if it does (and more importantly, your children will be covered).

This short read is a good example of the different paths two young people can go down after coming into an inheritance. One received his inheritance outright; the other's inheritance was put in a trust and carefully managed and invested by a family member. No matter how modest or large the gifts you leave behind, advanced planning is essential to make your money work for you (and your loved ones!).

When it comes to leaving money for the next generation, how you pass it down can be just as important as how much you leave. Take two families, the Millers and the Joneses. Both had a modest $50,000 to leave to their children. But because one family had an estate plan and the other didn’t, their c...
