4 razones para comenzar su plan de patrimonio ahora

1. Incidentes inesperados pueden ocurrir en cualquier momento

Muchos adultos que aún no han alcanzado la edad de jubilación creen falsamente que la planificación del patrimonio no se aplica a ellos. Sin embargo, la planificación del patrimonio puede beneficiar a todos y cada uno de los adultos legales. No hay garantía de que uno esté a salvo de accidentes o enfermedades repentinas. La planificación patrimonial es una manera efectiva de enfrentar esta posibilidad y calmar las posibles incertidumbres en caso de muerte o incapacidad.

2. Asegúrese de que los niños, los dependientes y las mascotas estén seguros

Un error común es que el objetivo principal (o único) de la planificación patrimonial es dejar activos a los beneficiarios. En realidad, los documentos de planificación patrimonial cubren una variedad de medidas preparatorias. Por ejemplo, ¿sabía que un testamento le permite a uno establecer preferencias para el tutor de su hijo? Las designaciones establecidas en un testamento pueden tomarse en consideración en el caso de que se impugne la tutela legal después de la muerte. Del mismo modo, un testamento y fideicomisos permiten que uno haga arreglos para el cuidado continuo de aquellos que dependen de ellos. Las designaciones de cuidado de mascotas son otro elemento de la planificación del patrimonio que a menudo se pasa por alto, y que puede cubrirse mediante un testamento.

3. Proteja sus cuentas y activos digitales

¿Se detuvo para considerar qué pasaría con sus cuentas en línea cuando fallezca? En una era cada vez más digital, este es un elemento esencial de la planificación patrimonial. Se debe mantener un registro preciso de la información de inicio de sesión para cualquier cuenta protegida por un nombre de usuario y contraseña, como cuentas bancarias en línea, cuentas de redes sociales y direcciones de correo electrónico. En caso de fallecimiento, una persona designada podrá acceder a estas cuentas con el fin de administrar plataformas en línea y facilitar la distribución de los activos mantenidos en estas cuentas.

4. Permítase espacio para una revisión continua

Toda vida sufre un cambio constante. Dicho esto, estos cambios pueden tener un gran impacto en cómo le gustaría desarrollar o actualizar su plan patrimonial. Se recomienda encarecidamente revisar sus documentos de planificación patrimonial después de cambios en la vida, como la propiedad de la vivienda, el parto, la muerte de un ser querido, el matrimonio y el divorcio. Al crear un plan de patrimonio lo antes posible en su vida adulta, permitirá que su plan crezca y se adapte a sus necesidades, lo que lo hace perfecto para su situación particular. Cuando llegue el momento de que su plan patrimonial entre en vigencia (por muerte o incapacidad), sus seres queridos sobrevivientes se sentirán cómodos al saber que está preparado al máximo de su capacidad.

I highly recommend Attorney Smith to carry out all your estate planning needs. Her approach includes taking the time to educate her clients on their options and explaining tough to understand concepts in a clear way without rushing through the process. Her demeanor made the necessary challenging and personal conversations less intimidating. Attorney Smith and her team (Alexandra) were efficient, patient, and responsive, operating like a well oiled machine. My experience was top notch!
