The biggest estate planning mistake? Thinking you don’t need one.
An independent fiduciary can help simplify estate planning, ensuring your wealth transfers efficiently while minimizing unnecessary taxes.
You may be asking yourself:
Do I need a will or trust?
What kind of taxes will my spouse pay if I die?
Do I really need an estate plan—or is that just for wealthy people?
The biggest estate planning mistake is procrastination.
Thinking you don’t need an estate plan is the biggest estate planning mistake. A simple plan—a will or trust, powers of attorney, and a living will—can save your family time, money, and stress. If you have children, naming a guardian is essential. The laws change, but one thing doesn’t: a smart estate plan protects your loved ones and minimizes unnecessary taxes.
