Lastly, the Frequently Asked Questions will break the ice on the subject if you aren’t familiar with the information we’ve provided or need a specific question answered before our consultation.
TYPES OF ESTATE ADMINSTRATION
Determine Intervention.
- SUPERVISED: A personal representative (one that will execute the wishes of an estate) will be appointed, and all real and personal property can’t be distributed or sold without a court’s approval. Ways this is useful is when there are disputes around a will, property and required for bankrupt estates.
- UNSUPERVISED: The cheaper type of administration, the heirs apart of the estate unanimously agree to decisions regarding real and personal property assets. One the more important aspects is that the estate is not bankrupt and no court supervision is required.
- MINIMAL: When the value of the estate is less than $50,000, the family involved can transfer assets without the use of an administration. There are time limits around when the court needs to see all property rights given to the rightful heirs via affidavit.
IT IS MANDATORY TO HAVE A STRUCTURED ESTATE PLAN.
We As Your Indianapolis Estate Planning Attorneys Know The Complexity.
Family Allowances. Probate Issues. Wills. Trusts. The list goes on. As the regulatory and legal environment is exceptionally fluid and dynamic, you want to determine how each of this subject matters interact with one another and how best to start compiling your plan.
START WITH THE ESSENTIALS:
A Will and Living Trust.
Both a Will and Living Trust have their strengths and weaknesses and really need to be drawn up based on your goals for the beneficaries, provide the peace of mind with the law inferefing with your wishes and give you the anomoyti that some individuals and families desire to shield themselves from prying eyes of 3rd parties.
QUICK BREAKDOWN OF WILLS AND LIVING TRUSTS
Introduction:
WILLS: You are laying the foundations for instructions to your heirs on what you would like to be done when you’re deceased. The issues surrounding your wishes will go into probate in some cases and be subject to court costs and legal fees.
TRUSTS: Trusts are the founding building blocks to sold estate planning as they allow for flexibility while you’re still alive. While creating a plan that brings your assets and resources under one roof, you gain the control without court inference.
