Estate planning basics: wills, trusts, power of attorney, and probate
Manage episode 292002860 series 2923361
#51: Despite the pain (and cost) that not having an estate plan will cause your heirs, fully two-thirds of Americans don’t even have so much as a will if they got hit by a bus.
There are many reasons why people fail to create an estate plan. None are good.
So for this week’s podcast, I invited Spiro Verras, a Florida estate planning attorney, to share key things you need to know about creating a proper estate plan.
We discuss:
- Elements of a good estate plan
- How probate works step by step, how long it takes, and how much it costs
- At what point in your life you should write a will
- Differences between wills and trusts
- Legal formalities of wills and trusts
- How wills and trusts change the probate process
- What DIY-ers need to know before drafting their own estate planning docs
- Special considerations for real estate investors, family business owners, professional service practice owners, and high net-worth individuals
