“La planificación estratégica le ayudará a descubrir plenamente las opciones disponibles, establecer prioridades para ellos, y definir los métodos para alcanzarlos.” – Robert J. Mckain

La planificación patrimonial efectiva se basa en los detalles. Cuando se trata de planificar el cuidado al final de la vida y hacer arreglos póstumos, es comprensible que uno se sienta abrumado con la cantidad de decisiones que deben tomarse. Sin embargo, muchos no logran ver el panorama general: dejar atrás un plan de patrimonio bien diseñado proporcionará seguridad, tranquilidad y satisfacción. Le permite a uno honrar sus propios valores, así como las necesidades de sus familiares y amigos. Incluso con los conceptos básicos de planificación patrimonial establecidos (es decir, una última voluntad y testamento), es probable que uno pase por alto otros elementos esenciales. Al concentrarse en los puntos finos de un plan de patrimonio, es muy probable que su atención a los detalles valga la pena en el futuro.

Preferencias de tratamiento médico

Una directiva avanzada describe las preferencias médicas y le permite seleccionar un agente de atención médica que esté autorizado para tomar decisiones médicas en su nombre, con su nivel preferido de poder de decisión. Esto significa que la autoridad de su agente de atención médica puede ser general (pueden tomar decisiones en su nombre, según su propio criterio), o limitada (solo pueden tomar decisiones según las preferencias que ya haya autorizado).

Provisiones de cuidado de niños y mascotas

Una de las principales razones para crear un plan de patrimonio es ayudar a cuidar a quienes lo necesitan cuando ya no vive. Los niños y las mascotas entran de lleno en esta categoría. Uno de los mayores regalos que puede dejar atrás es la seguridad, ya sea asignando fondos para la atención o haciendo su parte para garantizar que se seleccionen los cuidadores adecuados. Una última voluntad y testamento le permite a uno enumerar a la persona que preferiría ser la cuidadora del niño sobreviviente. Si bien esta no es la última palabra, contribuirá a la decisión durante la deliberación del tribunal. También se pueden enumerar valores, creencias e ideales con los que les gustaría que criaran a sus hijos.

Además, un fideicomiso (revocable o irrevocable) puede ser una opción adecuada para garantizar que se satisfagan las necesidades de cuidado de niños y de mascotas. Con los activos en un fideicomiso, uno puede garantizar que solo se dispersarán de acuerdo con sus deseos. Como tal, puede decidir dispersar los fondos para un propósito en particular, en una fecha específica y en asignaciones específicas.

Fideicomisos debidamente financiados

Cuando se incluye un fideicomiso en un plan de patrimonio, es fundamental asegurarse de que el fideicomiso esté financiado. Esto significa que incluso si se ha creado un fideicomiso, los activos correspondientes (cuentas, propiedades, etc.) deben asignarse al fideicomiso. Esto se puede hacer transfiriendo los títulos de su nombre (o los nombres de los beneficiarios) al fideicomiso. La financiación adecuada de los fideicomisos es clave para evitar procesos judiciales probatorios prolongados y costosos, que pueden causar un dolor de cabeza a los seres queridos sobrevivientes. Un especialista en planificación patrimonial tiene la capacidad de realizar y explicar el curso de acción correcto para sus circunstancias..

Plan de sucesión empresarial

Si usted es propietario de un negocio, es probable que haya invertido una cantidad considerable de tiempo y energía en su empresa. Si muriera o quedara incapacitado, ¿preferiría que su negocio continuara operando? Si es así, ¿quién continuaría dirigiendo su negocio? Estas son solo algunas de las preguntas que debe hacer el propietario de un negocio al elaborar un plan de patrimonio.

Un plan de sucesión de negocios le permite a uno tomar decisiones comerciales a largo plazo, que pueden incluir un Acuerdo de Compra-Venta (un acuerdo que describe la compra/transferencia de propiedad de una empresa) o arreglos para que un heredero herede la compañía. No hace falta decir que un plan de sucesión de negocios es una necesidad absoluta para aquellos que quieren ver cómo vive su empresa.

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!
