Al revisar los planes patrimoniales de las figuras públicas, está claro que sus opciones de planificación patrimonial a menudo reflejan las de una persona promedio. Sin embargo, los efectos de sus decisiones se magnifican por el nivel de riqueza involucrado y la cantidad de interés público generado por sus legados. Debido a que las celebridades son vistas como balizas del éxito financiero, sus errores y triunfos ilustran la gran necesidad de una planificación patrimonial efectiva para todos.

Algunas celebridades se niegan a atender adecuadamente sus necesidades póstumas y al final de su vida a pesar de tener acceso a una variedad de recursos de asistencia aparentemente ilimitada. Otros se toman el tiempo para planificar cuidadosamente sus designaciones de beneficiarios, directivas avanzadas y la promulgación de cualquier otro deseo final que puedan tener. En consecuencia, cada uno de nosotros tiene la capacidad de aprender de los errores y de los ejemplos positivos, lecciones que luego se pueden aplicar a nuestras propias vidas.

Hacer accesibles los documentos de planificación patrimonial una vez creados

La ubicación de sus documentos de planificación patrimonial (y otra información vital) no debe quedar envuelta en el misterio. Prince Roger Nelson, cuya muerte ocurrió en 2016, no dejó ningún testamento. Hasta el día de hoy, sus seis hermanos esperan una resolución de su distribución de bienes. Esto sirve como un recordatorio para tomarse el tiempo de elaborar un plan patrimonial significativo en lugar de dejar su patrimonio duramente ganado a la deliberación por un tribunal de sucesiones. Además de tener documentos de planificación patrimonial en su lugar, es igual de importante tenerlos en un lugar conocido por una parte responsable.

Asegurar que los fideicomisos estén financiados

Un error de planificación patrimonial común es crear un fideicomiso revocable o irrevocable sin financiarlo. En el caso de Michael Jackson, un fideicomiso no financiado generó desacuerdos entre los familiares sobrevivientes y complicaciones en los procedimientos judiciales probatorios. Como una desventaja adicional, el fideicomiso no financiado dio lugar a costos adicionales debido a los honorarios de los tribunales además de un impuesto al patrimonio previsible alto.

Considere donaciones caritativas

¿Cuál es el objetivo de su plan patrimonial? Si bien muchos planean dejar todos los activos a sus seres queridos y familiares, otros pueden optar por contribuir con una pequeña o gran parte de su patrimonio a una organización caritativa. En el caso de que los recursos permitan donaciones filantrópicas, puede encontrar que esta es una opción gratificante para incluir en su plan de sucesión. George Lucas, Simon Cowell y Michael Bloomberg son solo algunos de los nombres notables que se han comprometido a dar a los necesitados.

Plan con anticipación

Antes de su fallecimiento prematuro en marzo de 2019, el querido actor Luke Perry tomó las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su familia y sus seres queridos se quedaran con una propiedad fácilmente manejable. Además de un última voluntad y testamento, Perry también creó un fideicomiso en vida revocable y una directiva avanzada como parte de su plan de patrimonio.

Todos somos humanos, y nadie es inmune a las consecuencias de una planificación insuficiente. Para asistencia en la creación o actualización de su plan de patrimonio de Maryland, le invitamos a contactar Las Oficinas Legales de Elsa W. Smith al (410) 995-7719.

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!
