So… What is Modern Estate Planning?
Modern estate planning may include a number of documents which work together to create a cohesive plan. You may require some or all of the following documents as part of a modern estate plan:
- A Will
- A Power of Attorney
- An Appointment of Enduring Guardian
- A Binding Death Benefit Nomination
- An Advance Heath Directive
- Life Insurance
In estate planning, a Will may contain provision for the establishment of trusts, particularly if one or more of your beneficiaries runs a business, has a disability or cares for someone with a disability, is in a relationship or otherwise needs to mitigate tax.
Modern Estate Planning
Life is complicated, and a number of factors make estate planning far more difficult today than in the past. Many people will have one or more of the following factors in their lives, which make modern estate planning crucial:
- Family structure – such as second marriages, step-children, adoption, de facto relationships.
- Complicated assets & liabilities – investment properties, life insurance, shares, trusts.
- Litigation risks – owning a business, family disputes, estrangement, divorce
