Good evening, Moreno Valley! This is Jessica Ramirez with Channel 7 News. Tonight we’re speaking with renowned Moreno Valley Probate Attorney Steve Bliss about estate planning and the importance of securing your legacy for future generations.
Why is Estate Planning Important?
Steve, thank you for joining us tonight. Can you tell our viewers why estate planning is so crucial?
“Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy,” says Steve Bliss. “It’s about ensuring your wishes are honored and protecting your loved ones. Without a proper plan, your assets may be distributed according to state law, which may not align with your intentions.”
He goes on to explain that estate planning can minimize taxes, avoid probate court, and provide for dependents with special needs.
The Benefits of Irrevocable Trusts
Steve, could you elaborate on the benefits of an irrevocable trust?
“Irrevocable trusts offer a powerful tool for asset protection and tax planning,” explains Steve. “Once established, the assets are no longer considered part of your taxable estate. This can be particularly advantageous for individuals with substantial wealth who want to minimize estate taxes.”
He further clarifies that irrevocable trusts can also shield assets from creditors. Consequently, they provide peace of mind knowing that your hard-earned assets are safeguarded for future generations.
Moreover, Steve emphasizes the importance of consulting with an experienced attorney when setting up an irrevocable trust. “Each situation is unique, and it’s crucial to have a plan tailored to your specific needs and goals,” he advises.
Navigating the Complexities of Estate Planning
Have you encountered any challenges when advising clients on irrevocable trusts?
“There was this one case I handled where a client had accumulated significant wealth over their lifetime. They were concerned about potential estate taxes and wanted to ensure their family inherited their assets without undue financial burden. We decided an irrevocable trust was the best option. However, they were initially hesitant to relinquish control of their assets.
It took some time and careful explanation, but ultimately they understood the long-term benefits. The relief they felt after setting up the trust was palpable.”
Studies by the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel show that roughly 60% of Americans don’t have a will or estate plan in place. This lack of planning can lead to significant financial hardship for loved ones.
Seeking Professional Guidance
Steve, what is your final message to our viewers regarding estate planning?
