Complete Estate Planning

Might seem counter-intuitive to what we’ve already discussed, but, dead people do have an estate plan (even if they didn’t write one themselves before passing). Each state has a default formula to fall back on if there is no plan. However, it usually doesn’t go the way you want it to.

There are a lot of moving parts (and documents) in a COMPLETE estate plan. Many families get into trouble by randomly picking one-off documents while neglecting others, or not by making sure everything is reviewed and put together at the same time with the same overall plan. Just like kitchen appliances, you don’t want to get your dishwasher, microwave, stove, and fridge from 4 different brands at 4 different stores are 4 different times. Each document serves a specific purpose, but they also work together as a whole unit to make sure you’re taken care of.

Many situations arise that are “easier” or have some sort of “default” decision. However, those get thrown out the window for partners who decide not to legally marry. Whether the relationship is still progressing, the partners don’t feel like going through the hassle of getting married (or getting married again), or if there are other factors at play, these family situations require extra care.
