Divorce
Guardianship
When we wrote their estate plan, we discussed guardianships for their children in the event both husband and wife died. They wanted the wife’s sister’s family to raise the children. That family lived across the country in Pennsylvania; the sister was a school teacher and the husband was a coal miner. I counseled them through the process of deciding how to manage their children’s trusts, given that they would be worth about $8 million each if they did, in fact, go to live with their middle-class aunt and uncle. Should their children live a reduced lifestyle? Should their children get to access their wealth but be powerless to share it with their new family? Or, should the wife’s sister’s family be included in the estate plan?

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate Planning: Estate planning is the process of arranging for an orderly disposition of assets after death, in a way so as to avoid legal and financial complications, excessive fees and expenses, and, in some cases, taxes.
Wills
Will: Sometimes called a ” Last Will and Testament,” the purpose of a will is to transfer your property to your heirs at your death. A will also typically names someone you select to be your Personal Representative (or “executor”) to carry out your instructions and names a guardian if you have minor children. A will only becomes effective upon your death and after it is admitted to probate. To see how your assets would be distributed without a will, check the definition of “intestate succession” below.
Trusts
Revocable Living Trust: Can be used to hold legal title to and provide a mechanism to manage your property. You can select the person or persons you want—often even yourself—as the Trustee(s) to carry out the instructions you want in the Trust. Unlike a Will, a Trust, usually becomes effective immediately, continues in force during your lifetime even in the event of your incapacity, and continues after your death.
Power of Attorney
Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care: Appoints a person you designate to make decisions regarding your health care treatment in the event that you are unable to provide “informed consent”.
Probate

Tax Law
You might be richer than you think. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the value of your home and your IRA – along with your accumulated earnings – may put your estate at a value of over $5 million. If you neglect estate tax planning because you don’t consider yourself “wealthy”, then you run the risk of saddling your heirs with a hefty estate tax bill.
