It’s not a pleasant matter, but estate planning is something that has to be taken care of before you actually need to take care of it. While planning for the future in case something bad happens to you can seem overwhelming at first, it is something that we all have to face — better sooner than later. Keep reading to see why estate planning is something you should not delay any further, and how Goldberg & Associates can help you out with this important process!

 

 

Prepare for the Future

It always pays to be prepared, and this especially applies when it comes to estate planning. If you are not prepared for the worst, your heirs might be caught off-guard. It can be especially important for you as a business owner because not having a well-thought game plan after you are gone can spell the end for your business!

Protect Your Beneficiaries

Estate planning is vital if you still have living dependents, such as children. Without estate planning, and an executor who will carry out your wishes, your children may end up with Child Protective Services since you did not point out who should be the legal guardian of your children. Or, you might want to leave more to your younger children to give them an advantage in life, but other beneficiaries may take that away from them.

Prevent Family Messes

It is not uncommon to hear families falling apart when inheritance is concerned. It is an unfortunate reality, but something that you can prevent beforehand. With a well-laid-out estate plan, you can prevent family drama that might ensue after your passing.

Reduce Taxes for Your Heirs

Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of estate planning is the tax benefits it brings to the table. Wanting to pay the least amount of tax so that your beneficiaries can make use of your assets the most is very natural! Utilizing the right strategies with your accountant, such as trust funds, can minimize or even eliminate the potential taxes your beneficiaries may have to pay for!


You might think that you don’t have a lot of money for estate planning in the first place, but no matter what your financial situation may be, it will always be more beneficial for you and your heirs. So don’t delay it any further, and contact Robert M. Goldberg & Associates right away for all your estate planning solutions!
