About this listen

 Why is estate planning a necessity for everyone over 18, not just the wealthy, and learn how to safeguard your assets and ensure your wishes are honored. We explore the critical components of estate planning, including the last will and testament, trusts, power of attorney, and healthcare directives. Dan shares real-world examples to highlight common pitfalls, such as neglecting to update plans after major life changes, which can complicate probate and lead to legal challenges. Regular reviews of your estate plan every three to five years are key to keeping everything aligned with your current life situation.

Dive deeper into the world of trusts, especially their role in Medicaid and tax planning. We discuss the importance of setting up and funding a trust well before applying for Medicaid, ideally five years in advance, to protect your assets. Dan also sheds light on the strategic use of irrevocable trusts for larger estates and the significance of "see-through" language to secure tax benefits for IRAs and 401(k)s beneficiaries. With these insights, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the complexities of estate planning and ensure your goals are met, making this a must-listen episode for anyone looking to secure their financial future.
