Estate Planning Questions
What is a probate? How does it affect my family or me if my parents' assets were going through probate? Do I or my parents need a trust? What type of trust(s) do I need? What's a revocable and irrevocable trust? Do I only need a will? Should I have my trust own some of my assets and not others? Does a successor ownership make more sense? Should I name my trust as the primary beneficiary or contingent beneficiary? What is a Trustee? A Guardian? An Executor? Power of Attorney? Healthcare Agents? Will I owe estate tax when I die? How about my parents? If so how will that be paid and when and who will pay for it? What happens to my special needs child? Do I need a special trust for that? I'm not a U.S citizen, does it make a difference when it comes to estate planning and estate tax? What if I don't want to give one of my kids anything? What are JWROS, CPWROS, TOD, JTIC, CP, JTIE, JTOD, etc and their effects on my beneficiaries? Who will make medical decisions for me when I cannot? What's Advance Care Directive? Why do I need to have a copy with me and why do I need to have quick access to it?
