Advanced Estate Planning

When it comes to transferring assets in accordance to your wishes in the event of your death it is important to be aware of the taxes and other expenses involved in the transfer process. Many individuals are unaware that transfer taxes and income taxes can deplete the funds you transfer by more than 85%. Advanced estate planning focuses on minimizing the impact of these expenses on your beneficiaries. When you plan out the future of your estate, you assume that your beneficiaries will receive the full amount of the assets you have allocated for them. Without the proper planning you run the risk of leaving only a fraction of your assets to those you love.
