“Ustedes son los arcos desde donde se envían sus hijos como flechas vivientes.” – Khalil Gibran

La mayoría de las personas intentan tener un plan de futuro a prueba de fallas. Aunque la planificación del patrimonio es para todos, algunos aspectos son exclusivos de los padres. Si tiene hijos, las necesidades y ambiciones de sus hijos deben recibir atención especial. Los padres no pueden darse el lujo de ignorar las siguientes preguntas: ¿Qué pasará con mi familia en caso de mi muerte o incapacidad? ¿Cómo se pagarán las facturas? ¿Quién proporcionará cuidados a corto y largo plazo para mis hijos?

Enfrentar estas preguntas difíciles puede ser intimidante, pero es el primer paso hacia la elaboración de un plan de sucesión que lo haga sentir a usted y su familia a gusto.

 

Punto de partida

Hacer un balance de documentos importantes antes de tiempo puede ser un salvavidas durante una crisis. También es beneficioso crear una lista de sus activos, facilitando la decisión sobre cómo se administrará su patrimonio en el futuro y asegurándose de que nada se resbale por las grietas.

Una vez que haya formado sus documentos de planificación patrimonial, guárdelos en un lugar al que se pueda acceder fácilmente y que esté lejos de posibles daños. Su ejecutor (el administrador de su patrimonio) tendrá que acceder y presentar su testamento cuando fallezca, lo que significa que fácilmente debería poder ubicar su testamento y cualquier otra documentación importante.

Herencia

Un patrimonio no se limita a bienes raíces o fondos monetarios, e incluye artículos físicos y personales. Sus hijos pueden sentirse cómodos al descubrir que sus padres se tomaron el tiempo para transmitir un regalo significativo y sentimental a través de un testamento o un fideicomiso.

Cuando se trata de finanzas, es común preocuparse de que su hijo no pueda o no vaya a gastar su herencia con sensatez. A diferencia de los testamentos, los fideicomisos en vida revocables e irrevocables permiten que los fondos se distribuyan en cuotas o según las condiciones especificadas por el fabricante del fideicomiso.

Tutela

Usted tiene la capacidad de enumerar sus preferencias de tutela en su testamento. Analice las opciones de tutela y cuidado de niños con adultos cercanos y de confianza en su vida. Para evitar confusiones en caso de su muerte, asegúrese de que todos estén en la misma página y preparados para acomodar a sus hijos.

Tenga en cuenta que su Última Voluntad y Testamento no garantiza que se designará la tutela, ya que en última instancia es una decisión judicial. Sin embargo, tener una voluntad bien elaborada con detalles y apoyo para su decisión de tutela puede ayudar enormemente.

Decisiones medicas

La planificación patrimonial abarca algo más que la distribución de sus activos. ¿Sabía que la atención médica de emergencia y las decisiones sobre el final de la vida también forman parte de su plan de patrimonio?

Una directiva avanzada (un documento clave de planificación patrimonial) es una forma en la que puede indicar sus preferencias de tratamiento médico de emergencia y designar a un representante de atención médica para que tome decisiones importantes en su nombre en caso de que quede incapacitado. Su familia y sus hijos encontrarán alivio al saber que usted ha planeado con anticipación y que se están protegiendo sus deseos.

Un profesional de planificación patrimonial está bien equipado para guiarlo en el proceso de creación de documentos que protegen sus deseos y el futuro de sus seres queridos. Para obtener ayuda con la planificación en el estado de Maryland, le invitamos a contactar las Oficinas Legales de Elsa W. Smith, LLC al 410-995-7719 para fijar su consulta 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!
