“La planificación es trayendo el futuro al presente para que puedas hacer algo al respecto ahora.” – Alan Lakein

 

Cuando empezar

Mientras sea un adulto legal, puede comenzar a crear su plan de patrimonio en cualquier momento. Muchos cometen el error de creer que hay un momento adecuado o una situación que los provocará a comenzar a crear documentos de planificación patrimonial. La verdad es que es mucho más probable que se acerque al asunto demasiado tarde. La vida está llena de ocurrencias inesperadas; Un plan de patrimonio sólido puede ofrecerle tranquilidad, especialmente cuando está en marcha antes de tiempo. La siguiente información sirve como una hoja de ruta para ilustrar el proceso de planificación del patrimonio.

Compilar documentos

La organización y el almacenamiento seguro de documentos es un punto de partida esencial (y, a menudo, pasado por alto) cuando se trata de la planificación patrimonial. Al hacerlo, se está preparando para el éxito de varias maneras. Mantener un registro preciso de los documentos importantes hace que sea mucho más fácil enumerar los activos, demostrar la titularidad y legitimar las designaciones de sus beneficiarios. Una vez que se crean los documentos de planificación patrimonial, le permitirá a usted y sus seres queridos acceder a ellos, ya sea en el caso de que los actualice o en el caso de que sean necesarios en una situación de emergencia.

 

Prepararse para la consulta de planificación patrimonial

Si bien es posible crear un plan de sucesión sin ayuda externa, muchos optan por una mano amiga, lo que puede facilitar enormemente el proceso y reducir el margen de error. Si solicita la ayuda de un profesional de planificación patrimonial, es posible que deba completar un cuestionario preliminar. Es posible que también deba proporcionarles documentos relativos a la propiedad de activos, estado civil, fondos fiduciarios existentes, documentos financieros y saldos en cuentas financieras. Además, venga preparado con preguntas e inquietudes que le gustaría abordar durante la consulta.

Espere futuras revisiones

A medida que experimenta cambios importantes en su vida, es completamente natural tener un cambio de opinión con respecto a la distribución de su patrimonio, las designaciones de sus beneficiarios e incluso las preferencias médicas enumeradas en un documento de directivas avanzadas. Con raras excepciones (por ejemplo, con un fideicomiso irrevocable) es posible cambiar los términos de sus documentos de planificación patrimonial. Las razones comunes para actualizar un plan de patrimonio incluyen el matrimonio, la muerte de un cónyuge o beneficiario, el parto y la adquisición de nuevos activos.

Al revisar su plan de patrimonio, tenga en cuenta (y reconsidere) sus objetivos de planificación de patrimonio. ¿Qué desea dejar a sus seres queridos cuando ya no está aquí? Por difícil que sea, esta pregunta es clave para elaborar un plan de patrimonio completo, completo y considerado.

Si necesita ayuda para navegar los giros y vueltas de la planificación patrimonial, le invitamos a comunicarse con Las Oficinas Legales de Elsa W. Smith, LLC al 410-995-7719 para programar su consulta de planificación de Maryland hoy.

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!
