You've worked hard to build a comfortable nest egg, and now you're ready to make sure it's protected for your family after you're gone. You’ve heard stories about estates being tied up in lengthy legal battles, loved ones left with nothing due to poor planning, or hefty taxes wiping out a significant portion of someone's assets.
At Kairos Law Group, we know how important it is to protect your legacy. That’s why we focus exclusively on estate planning. Our goal is to help you avoid these common mistakes, so your family is provided for and your wishes are honored. Whether you need a basic will or more complex asset protection strategies, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
1. Not Having a Valid Will
A major mistake in estate planning is not having a valid will. Without one, the state decides how your assets are divided, which might not reflect your wishes. An estate planning attorney can help you draft a will that clearly outlines how your assets should be distributed and ensures your intentions are honored.
2. Forgetting to Update Beneficiary Designations
It's easy to overlook beneficiary designations on accounts like life insurance or retirement funds. Failing to update these can cause assets to go to the wrong person, especially after a life change like marriage or divorce. Regularly review and update beneficiaries so the right people get what you want.
3. Ignoring Tax Implications
Taxes can take a big chunk out of your estate if you don’t plan carefully. Working with an estate planning attorney helps you create strategies to reduce tax liabilities, ensuring that more of your wealth is passed on to your loved ones.
4. DIY Estate Planning Mistakes
It might seem cheaper to handle estate planning yourself, but DIY solutions often lead to mistakes that could invalidate your plan. Estate planning lawyers know the law and can ensure your plan is legally solid, comprehensive, and meets your specific needs.
5. Missing Out on Trusts and Asset Protection
Trusts and asset protection strategies can safeguard your assets, making sure they are distributed according to your wishes while protecting them from creditors. An estate planning lawyer can help you decide if a trust is the right option for your family and financial situation.
