Dear Friend,
I know, it sounds miserable. Well, that's probate for you. So you think you've safeguarded your children's inheritance by writing a will so that your family is taken care of after you're gone? (Don't tell me there is NO will...) The fact of the matter is, you're leaving your family behind to deal with months - maybe years - of misery in probate court.
What is Probate Court? Originally, the probate court was set up to step in anytime someone died, and transfer the assets from the deceased to his or her heirs. That's how it started. And still today, whenever someone dies -- whether with or without a will -- the estate must go through probate court.
But now, probate court has changed: it is where lawyers, clerks, bureaucrats, administrators, estate appraisers, judges, and bonding companies decide who gets what... after they take their cut of the inheritance.
But There is GOOD NEWS!
You can disinherit the lawyers and all of the probate court administrators...
it's actually pretty simple. And yes, of course -- it's perfectly
legal! A smart estate plan will protect and provide for your family,
maximize your children's inheritance, and reduce (if not eliminate!) your
taxes and legal fess.
You've worked long and hard
for what you've accomplished in life. Don't you deserve to hold
onto it? To pass it on to your family when your gone? It's time
you safeguard your assets and
protect your family. That's what we're all about!
PROBATE
STINKS!
While your family is dealing with their emotional loss, they'll be forced
to handle the anxiety of waiting for their inheritance while dealing
with all kinds of people who, frankly, don't give a rip about them personally:
judges, administrators, and other court bureaucrats. But let's not
forget the lawyers -- and their unforgettable, astronomical fees. Here
are some specific Probate Problems:
It's
Costly! Probate can
eat up HUGE chunks of your estate. Probate fees in most states are
calculated as a percentage of the gross estate. That means the state
will add up everything you've got -- your home, your car, stocks, bonds,
savings account balances, life insurance, etc. So let's say this
all adds up to $750,000. If you live in Utah, to probate the estate
would cost you at least $28,500 -- that's at Utah's statutory probate
rate of 3.8%. Now if you're in Alaska, the same steps required to
probate your estate would result in fees of $82,000.
It
Takes A Long Time! It's true, probate
is a lengthy process. Typically, it takes anywhere from 2 to 5 years
to "settle" an estate! During that time, the estate is
picked apart by judges, court administrators and attorneys, while the
beneficiaries of the estate have to sit and wait.
It
Robs You Of Your Privacy! Another
probate problem is that it puts your estate on public display. When
an estate goes through probate, it becomes a matter of public record.
Privacy goes right out the window. So not only are your family's
affairs available for prying eyes, there are some scumbags out there who
actually rummage through probate records seeking out vulnerable widows
to prey upon with various scams and schemes.
So how, exactly, to you avoid probate? Introducing...
The Living Trust
With an "inter vivos trust" or Living Trust, you can pass your assets, in their entirety, directly to your spouse, children or other heirs, without delay, without publicity, and without lawyers, administrators, judges, bureaucrats, and court officials grabbing up huge fistfuls of cash away from the estate!
With some legal documents you will identify the assets you want the trust to hold, you will name the beneficiaries of the trust, and you will decide who will manage the trust (your "trustee"). You can be your own trustee, and you will maintain full control of your assets just as you do now. Of course you set the trust up now, while you're living (hence the name!), but the trust doesn't go to work for you until after you die or become incapacitated.
When you name a trustee, you will also name a successor trustee. This will be the person that takes over the estate upon your death and immediately passes your assets on to your beneficiaries. No court. No probate. No probate costs. No probate lawyers. No probate lawyer fees. You get the idea! The trust is terminated by the successor trustee. It is really that simple.
You retain complete control of your trust -- it is "revocable." You can terminate it, change the terms of the trust, eliminate or add beneficiaries whenever you decide you want to do so. In short, your living trust provides you with absolute flexibility and control!
| So, before today, you
had no smart estate plan -- or maybe you thought you did since you
have a will... Now you can picture it: Your family is
left behind to deal with months - maybe years - of abject misery
in probate court, all the while dealing with their significant emotional
loss. They're forced to handle the anxiety of
waiting for their inheritance while dealing with indifferent strangers
who will not ease their grieving, but will take for themselves
a sizeable chunk of the inheritance - before your heirs ever see
a penny. Miserable. NOW LET THAT IMAGE GO & REPLACE IT WITH... Now you understand probate, and how you can protect your family from the delays, publicity and costs of that nightmare scenario. You take action! You understand living trusts, and you move forward with a smart estate plan! Now let's look at something as simple as a bank account. Because of your smart planning, the bank does not block the savings account while your entire estate is being probated, and your heirs will not have to wait for an order of the court to take the money out of the account. Instead, your beneficiary strolls into the bank with the trust instrument and a death certificate -- and minutes later strolls out with the money. No delays. No publicity. And no costs. |

| WARNING! (1) You
Understand What You Need From Them, and Most attornies simply do not understand proper estate planning AND asset protection. It's not part of Law School, and most simply rely on an off the shelf software program to fill out forms. |
Smart Asset Protection For Property Owners was crafted by a successful investor that has run many companies and currently owns millions of dollar in real estate. It also has contribution by an attorney with excellent academic and real-world credentials, and you should expect the same from any professional educational product (or face-to-face dealings with professionals):
The
co-author is a LICENSED ATTORNEY with more than 8 years experience. When
reading about asset protection or estate planning, Do Not consult with
someone who is not an attorney (which is basically what you're doing by
learning from a book) -- and be sure it is an attorney that practices
in the specialized field of estate planning. Never buy a product that
promises information about legal protection from someone who has not had
the training and experience to fully understand the law! If you or your
family's health were in serious jeopardy, you wouldn't go to anyone who
was not a trained, licensed medical doctor, would you?
The
co-author is a professional with excellent academic credentials.
Don't believe that grades and law school accomplishments don't matter
-- the best students DO make the best attorneys! Whether considering an
author or a personal consultation, seek out an attorney who graduated
from an ABA accredited law school with honors, preferably in the top 5%
of his class. Also look for someone who was awarded prestigious law school
honors like Law Review member, Law Review Editor, Moot Court member, publication
in the top law review journal as a student (and who has published in peer-reviewed
scholarly journals since graduating from law school!).
