When Is the Right Time to Plan Your Will? A will is an essential part of estate planning, ensuring your assets and affairs are managed according to your wishes. Here are 5 signs it's time to create or update your will: 1. Major Life Changes: Life events like marriage, divorce, or having children necessitate updating your will to reflect new priorities. 2. Acquisition of Significant Assets: Including real estate, investments, or valuable personal property. 3. Children or Dependents: It's vital to establish guardianship and manage their inheritance. 4. Changes in Financial Situation: Reflect new financial realities to ensure accurate asset distribution. 5. Specific Asset Distribution Wishes: Clearly outline who receives what to avoid disputes and ensure your wishes are honored.

Planning for your loved ones' futures is an important step, but navigating the world of estate planning can feel confusing. Two common tools you might encounter are wills and trusts, but what's the difference and which one is right for you? 🤔 Wills: - A legal document outlining how you want your assets distributed after your transition. - Offer clear instructions for your beneficiaries. - Requires probate, a court process that can be time-costly and public. - Doesn't take effect until after your death, so it doesn't manage assets while you're alive. Trusts & Asset Protection: - Asset protection is the primary goal for many people that create a trust. - Ownership is transferred to the trust, not the trustee. Trustee only manages the assets in the trust. They do not own the trust assets. - Can avoid probate, saving time and potential legal fees. - Offers greater control over how and when your assets are distributed. - Certain types of trusts can become effective immediately, allowing you to manage assets even if you become incapacitated. Still unsure? Don't worry! The experienced estate planning attorneys at Fratello Law Firm can help you understand your options and create a personalized plan that meets your unique needs. Contact us today for more information on how to protect you and your loved ones. #EstatePlanningTips #WillsAndTrusts #AssetProtection #FratelloLaw #LongIslandLaw

While summer is a time for relaxation, it's also a perfect opportunity for seniors to revisit their estate plans. Here are 3 key tips to consider: 1. Review Beneficiary Designations: Financial accounts and insurance policies often have designated beneficiaries. Take some time to confirm these designations are still aligned with your current wishes. 2. Organize Important Documents: Estate planning documents should be readily accessible in case of need. Gather your will, trust (if applicable), healthcare directives, and power of attorney documents in a safe and organized location. 3. Communicate with Loved Ones: Open communication with family members about your estate plans can be invaluable. Consider having a casual conversation about your wishes to ensure everyone understands your intentions. By taking these proactive steps, you can ensure your assets are distributed as you desire and minimize potential stress for your loved ones in the future. Fratello Law's experienced attorneys can guide you through the comprehensive estate planning process.
