Here, Wall Street Journal personal-finance reporter Rachel Emma Silverman walks you step-by-step through the process. Chock-full of clear and solid advice on how to get the most out of the main estate planning tools - including wills, trusts, life insurance, guardianship papers, and powers-of-attorney documents - the Wall Street Journal Complete Estate-Planning Guidebook will help make your estate-planning process as simple, smooth, and unintimidating as possible. This book will help you: · Clarify your estate-planning goals, such as dividing up property for heirs, reducing taxes or leaving money for charity · Understand the key estate-planning documents you’ll need, including wills, beneficiary-designation forms, powers-of-attorney and health-care advance directives · Decode the technical jargon that estate planners often use, so you feel comfortable discussing QTIPs and QPRTs when you sit down with your lawyer. · Reduce possible estate, gift or generation-skipping taxes and legal and probate fees – decreasing what goes to the tax man and increasing what goes to your heirs · Learn strategies to divide money and personal property among your heirs, and reduce the possibility of family fights · Discuss sensitive estate-planning issues with your family · Maintain your estate-plan over time, including how to store and when to update your documents With completely up-to-date information on how to navigate the new 2011 estate tax legislation, and thoughtful advice on how to handle your estate in complicated situations – like if you’re single, in a same-sex relationship, or wish to provide for children with special needs - this is the estae-planning guide for today’s messy and complicated world. One of the biggest estate planning mistakes people make, says Silverman, is waiting too long to start. Which is why the Wall Street Journal Complete Estate-Planning Guidebook isn’t just for those planning for retirement or their golden years. It’s for anyone, of any age, who wants the peace of mind of knowing that your wishes will be respected and your hard-earned money will get passed on as you would like.

Book excerpt: This estate planning organizer and journal was inspired by three beautiful women that I have loved and lost-- my mother, my grandmother, and my cousin. Part 1 of this Planner will help you identify your family, assets, and pertinent information needed in the event of your incapacity and or death. During my first-year practicing law, I was summoned from Annapolis, Maryland to my grandmother's hospital room on the Eastern Shore to discuss creating her estate plan. Other than a cold or the flu, I had never seen my gram ill, and now she was dying of stage 4 Cancer. While my family was gathering at the hospital to love on my gram, I was at her home locating her pertinent documents. After a few hours of searching, I found myself alone in a hotel room preparing her Will, and other estate documents. My heart ached to be at the hospital with my gram and my family. The first section is dedicated to my grandmother. I hope this inspires you to organize for yourself and your loved ones. Part 2 of the Planner will help you identify pertinent documents to gather, as well as provide a location of the documents for your family and your agents. When my beautiful 38-year-old cousin died unexpectedly, my gram paid for my cousin's memorial service because we could not locate my cousin's life insurance policy timely, though we all knew it existed. It is great to have policies and other assets, but if they cannot be located when needed, the investment and benefits are lost. Part 3 of the Planner is a Journal. This section will allow you to share some of your story, pass on memories, and remind those left behind of your love for them. One of my most cherished possessions is a yellow baby book given to my parents when I was first-born. My mom used it for the first 2-years of my life. I am grateful to have her words, thoughts, and love for me captured in that book, especially since at age 11, I kissed my mother on the cheek, told her I loved her, and watched her take her last breath.As an estate planning attorney, I talk to families all the time about creating their estate plans. Young, old, wealthy, middle class, low income, it does not matter. In my opinion, planning is crucial. I have created this book for you and for the ones you love. With all my heart, I hope you will utilize this Planner in its entirety, and that it is a helpful resource and a gift to you and your families.

Download or read book My Journal for End Of Life Planning for My Wife written by Life Happens Journals and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This isn't one of your average estate planning books nor is it about wills and trusts for dummies or financial planners. It isn't about death, dying and bereavement. This is a personal journal to help guide you and your wife through some of the end-of-life planning together so that she will have the peace of mind knowing after her passing that her family will not have to struggle through the challenges of lawyers and accountants and wills and courts and fighting over estates and...and...and... It's also about making the most of your remaining time together. Life happens. Some things you can't do much about. Others, you can. You are watching your wife die and you want the rest of your time together to count but you feel a bit helpless, and maybe not exactly sure what to do. Here's a smart idea. Seize the opportunity to be her Strong Advocate. Your wife needs you to ensure that her final days are as calm, comfortable and pain free as possible. Someone to hold doctors accountable to the best treatment available. Someone to make sure that her personal affairs are in order and that her family is looked after. She needs and trusts you to be her strong advocate, and to do it right. Think of this as your own personal journal for end-of-life planning for your wife, and not some cold impersonal off-the-shelf estate planning book about wills and trusts. Be confident that this journal will help guide you through some of the complexities of end-of-life planning as it prompts you to consider things like medical, financial, legal, spiritual, and estate organization. The back section of your journal also has extra pages to collect your thoughts and document important events. Having an advocate for health care these days is a very good thing, but a big part of the transition through end-of-life that will help comfort your wife in her last days will be knowing that everything has been taken care of and that your family won't be burdened by all the matters of estate after her passing. But here's a hard reality of being the strong advocate for your wife. If you haven't got what it takes to be that advocate, or maybe you're going to be that emotionally charged family member that is out to crusade for your wife's health and focus on nothing else, then maybe you want to rethink your role a bit. She doesn't need you to be on an emotional campaign. She needs you to be there for her rationally, and to manage her affairs thoroughly. So if that's not you, then find the right person and give them a copy of this journal and consider other ways that you can help. Your wife is trusting you to give peace of mind to everyone, so do it. Get organized with your end-of-life planning journal and make things easier for you and those around you.

This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis: What happens to your estate after you are gone is very much within your control. Estate planning is not only for the wealthy; it is for everyone. It is simply the process of deciding where your assets are to be distributed after your death. For those people who wish to preserve their assets for designated purposes such as family or special charities it becomes necessary to make special advance preparations. To ensure your assets are protected and final wishes are carried out, there are some common actions that should be taken now. Proper estate planning allows you to plan for yourself and your loved ones without giving up control of your affairs. Your estate plan should also allow for the possibility of your own disability. It should detail what you own and whom you want to leave it to at a time of your choosing and the way you want. Your estate plan should include fully disclosed, controlled costs for you and your loved ones. The last thing you want to worry about is having your estate drained of value through taxes and legal costs. The right plan can protect the value of your estate and spare your loved ones unnecessary hassles and legal conflicts. The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in Michigan will help you glide through this complicated process. This new book has been adapted to offer Ohio residents state-specific advice for estate planning. Co-authors Margo Pierce and Linda C. Ashar, attorneys at law, have crafted an estate planning primer, allowing Michigan residents to become more informed and more involved during the process. Many books on estate planning indicate you do not need the services of an attorney, but this book highly recommends using an attorney versed in this area: You should not go through the process alone. This book is intended explain the complicated issues, terminology, and planning strategies of estate planning so when you do meet with a qualified attorney, you will be well prepared. You will understand the legal terms and be ready to discuss issues and strategies with familiarity, saving you time and legal fees and ensuring peace of mind. Michigan -specific information is offered throughout this book, including: Michigan's probate code; Michigan rules, regulations, and laws specific to estate planning; elements of a valid Michigan will; planning your living will in Michigan; explanations of Michigan laws regarding durable health care power of attorneys, do not resuscitate (DNR) orders, and directives to withhold CPR. The book's easy-to-understand context clarifies this complicated and sensitive subject and gives readers the power to take control of their future. This book also offers an overview of abatement rules, settlement costs, guardianship and minor children, executors and trustees, life insurance, potential long-term care needs, marital deductions, types of trusts, gift splitting, survivorship deeds, 529 plans, reducing or eliminating estate taxes, avoiding tax on life insurance, using insurance to pay estate taxes, gift tax issues, generation skipping transfer tax, and tax-deferred accounts. Estate planning should be a positive experience. It involves reviewing your situation and planning for your future. Although few people want to think about the possibility of disability or disease, advance planning is also a way to show your love and to reduce potential distress later. Other books offer a non-state-specific overview of estate planning, causing many readers to be misinformed about rules and regulations particular to their state; but, this new book provides information Michigan residents need to know. Do not get outdated or wrong information that does not pertain to you specifically. Use this new book to craft an estate plan that is not only legally sound but also fully carries out your last wishes and protects your loved ones.
