00:06
my best advice in estate planning is get
00:08
your estate plan done
00:10
whether you own a lot of your assets in
00:13
llc or corporations there’s always
00:17
things in estate planning that people
00:18
have missed if you go through a proper
00:20
estate planning process you won’t miss
00:22
the items that tend to cause the
00:24
problems later a lot of people think
00:26
that if they’re well planned and they’re
00:28
business people businessmen and women
00:30
well-planned that you know they have
00:32
llc’s they have corporations they’ve
00:34
dealt with an attorney and so of course
00:36
you know they’re dotting their eyes and
00:37
crossing their tees all the time well
00:39
with estate planning it involves so much
00:41
more than that it’s not just your
00:42
business assets it’s your personal
00:44
assets
00:45
and oftentimes if you’re not doing
00:47
estate planning you’re not in the habit
00:49
of just going through the assets that
00:51
you may collect or change over the years
00:53
and if gosh forbid something happens
00:56
those assets are going to go to probate
00:58
maybe your directives your medical
01:00
directives are not taken care of so you
01:02
have goodness gracious somebody handling
01:05
your medical decisions um that you
01:08
is maybe not a relevant person in your
01:09
life anymore um there are
01:12
all kinds of issues and things that bad
01:15
things that can happen for failure to
01:17
have an estate plan
01:18
and it really is not a painful process i
01:21
mean the whole process is like
01:23
an hour perhaps i mean you would come
01:26
into the office
01:28
you’re given a list it’s meant to jar
01:29
your memory on the things that you have
01:31
it’s meant to ask you questions about
01:33
your children about your medical
01:34
directives about your funeral things
01:37
that you would like
01:39
to have happen or distributions to be
01:42
made the attorney gets it we go through
01:45
prepare the document for you you come
01:47
back in a week two weeks later sign it
01:49
get it witnessed and there you go and
01:51
you have peace of mind i think the
01:53
biggest trouble for most people is they
01:54
don’t like to have the conversation
01:56
about death but i mean you plan for your
01:58
taxes i’m sure every year you can you
02:01
