Estamos en plena temporada de vacaciones. Recientemente, varias muertes de turistas muy publicitadas han ocurrido en países fuera de los EE. UU., Lo que nos muestra que lo impensable puede ocurrir incluso durante las vacaciones. Estas tragedias son un desafortunado recordatorio de que la vida puede cambiar en un instante, lo que resalta la necesidad de un plan patrimonial integral. En medio del caos y la emoción de prepararse para una escapada, es imperativo que tenga en cuenta estos consejos de planificación patrimonial:

Tenga un plan de patrimonio completo y actualizado antes de viajar.

Si aún no tiene un plan de patrimonio completado antes de comenzar sus viajes, use la salida de su viaje como fecha límite para completar estos documentos. Para aquellos que ya cuentan con un plan de patrimonio, se sugiere que estos documentos se revisen para verificar su exactitud. Un plan de patrimonio debe ser revisado siempre que ocurra un cambio significativo en la vida. Esto incluye las muertes y los nacimientos de familiares o seres queridos, la propiedad de la vivienda y los cambios en el estado civil.

¿Su plan de patrimonio incluye documentos de incapacidad? Una directiva avanzada, por ejemplo, protege las preferencias de tratamiento médico de un individuo en caso de incapacitación. Otro documento, un poder notarial duradero, establece un representante de atención médica, o representante de atención médica, que está autorizado para tomar decisiones de tratamiento médico en su nombre.

Revise sus designaciones de beneficiarios.

Para muchos, el motivo principal de la planificación patrimonial es garantizar que sus seres queridos serán atendidos cuando ya no estén cerca. Como tal, es crucial para consolidar el estatus de beneficiario de sus seres queridos. De manera similar, es importante hacer cambios en su plan de patrimonio si un beneficiario ha fallecido o si sus preferencias cambian con respecto a las designaciones de los beneficiarios (por ejemplo, el divorcio).

La creación de un fideicomiso garantiza que los fondos alcanzarán su propósito previsto. Para aquellos con un fideicomiso en vida (living trust), es necesario que nombre al fideicomiso como beneficiario de su patrimonio (o activos específicos) o que cambie la propiedad de los activos al nombre del fideicomiso. Esto evitará que los activos sean controlados y desembolsados por el Tribunal en el caso de que un beneficiario sea menor de edad o quede incapacitado. No establecer un fideicomiso correctamente puede resultar en tiempo y costos judiciales innecesarios para sus herederos sobrevivientes.

Mantenga los documentos importantes al alcance.

Si ocurre una tragedia mientras está de vacaciones, la planificación especial puede salvar a sus seres queridos en casa de una gran dificultad. Su plan de patrimonio y documentos personales deben ser fácilmente accesibles por una parte confiable para garantizar que cumplen con el propósito previsto. Además, se sugiere que los documentos de papel importantes se guarden en un recipiente de almacenamiento resistente a la intemperie, para que no estén sujetos a daños físicos.

Haga una lista de sus cuentas financieras, activos y documentos importantes relevantes (certificado de nacimiento, certificados de matrimonio y / o divorcio, escrituras y títulos de propiedad, etc.). Si tiene cuentas en línea a las que solo tiene acceso, conserve una lista de nombres de usuario y contraseñas para estas cuentas. Esto lo ayudará durante y después del proceso de planificación del patrimonio; La organización agilizará el proceso de distribución del patrimonio y reducirá la carga de sus seres queridos sobrevivientes en caso de que ocurra algo desafortunado.

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!
