Do You Really Want to Disinherit a Family Member? Episode 362 – So, you've been estranged from one of your children for years now. Your feelings are hurt, and the relationship seemingly has no chance of recovery. Now what? You can certainly disinherit your child if you wish. But beware: it's more complicated than you may realize. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 362 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: do you really want to disinherit a family member? It's not easy. So, you've been estranged from one of your children for years now. Your feelings are hurt, and the relationship seemingly has no chance for recovery. Now what? You're feeling a strong urge to disinherit your child. It's your money, and you're certainly entitled to do that if you want. But beware: it's more complicated than you may realize. There are many potential reasons that a parent might consider disinheriting a child. Disinheritance sometimes comes into play with large estates, family business interests and blended families.[1] But there are other potential issues. You may have an heir who can't control their spending, has other disabilities or doesn't share your philanthropic ideas. But there's a significant downside. As author Susan Lipp pointed out in an article for Wealth Management, the emotional effects of disinheriting a child could destroy their physical and mental well-being. And it might not even have its intended effect. Eliminating a family member as an estate beneficiary isn't likely to change anybody's mind, and perhaps even worse, it may result in expensive litigation.[2] Ok so, in spite of all the potential headaches, you've decided that there's no going back. You're going to take the plunge and formally disinherit someone. Now what? Of course, you're going to need the help of an experienced estate attorney. He or she can help you avoid some potential traps you might not be aware of. The attorney would likely want to carefully explain one of those traps: you ‘re going to need to be specific when you disinherit someone. In other words, it's usually not enough to just leave your child's name out of your will. You'll need to explicitly state that you're excluding this person. Otherwise, a court might conclude that you accidentally omitted this individual rather than doing so deliberately.[3] Remember, you won't be there to argue otherwise. Also, disinheriting one child while favoring another child may foster ill-will or even animosity between them after your death and disrupt family harmony. You may want to avoid that if you can. And your attorney is also likely to remind you of how important it is to keep your will up-to-date. No matter how awful things are right now, reconciliation might still be possible someday. Also, there may be children born after the will is executed. They will need to be accounted for, one way or another. If your disagreement is with your children, one relatively simple idea might be to skip a generation and give the money to your grandkids. But beware. For a wealthy family, these types of gifts can be made impractical by the Generation Skipping Transfer Tax, or GST. If applicable, the GST Tax rate is a flat 40 percent. Thankfully, under current tax law, the GST tax will only affect wealthy individuals representing less than 1% of the population.[4] But there's more. Direct gifts to grandchildren can make the already frayed emotional situation even worse. Some experts feel that such a maneuver would be seen as an even bigger insult and would cause more damage than simply disinheriting everyone.[5] And, as we've discussed many times on this program, don't forget to look at beneficiary designations. If you've made the difficult decision to disinherit someone, the last thing you want is for that person to get an accidental inheritance simply because you forgot to take their name off your insurance policy, retirement account or bank accounts. It can also get tricky if you're dealing with a potential surviving spouse. You may not be able to disinherit your estranged spouse even if you say so in your will. It varies by state, but most states simply do not allow you to disinherit your surviving spouse.[6] Note that the same does not apply for a divorced ex-spouse, although things are a bit more complicated if you live in a Community Property state such as California or Texas.[7] Furthermore, it can be very difficult to completely disinherit minor children while they remain of minor age. Again, the law varies by state, but state law generally mandates that the assets from your estate be available to pay for the care of your minor children.[8] Rather than a complete disinheritance, families may have another option. One idea is that parents can place their family bequests into a trust with a third-party trustee. They would then appoint trustees who they believe share their philosophy. A properly structured trust can go a long way in resolving these issues in the best way possible, without technically disinheriting anyone. Do you still want to go through with this? You need to also consider the impact of a possible role reversal later in life. As a parent ages, it is common for the elderly to become dependent on their children for support. Disinheriting the child would undoubtedly make the situation much more complicated and could make things much worse for the parent in their later years. As with many things, it pays to think carefully before you act. It's not going to be cheap, and it might not accomplish what you want. How you decide to treat your children in your estate plan says a lot about yourself as well as them. Perhaps, not disinheriting a child who has caused you heartache can send a message of love and forgiveness.

Scott Gravelle is the CEO and founder of Attabotics, a Canadian (Calgary) company attempting to fundamentally change how supply chains work at the ground level, moving products as fast as atoms. This podcast teaches how a combination of crises, alongside underlying shifts in the transformation of something (the supply chain), can turn hyper-important and open up vastly new thinking and opportunities very fast. Imagine being able to order a particular size, brand, and type of sneaker with a specific color of the tongue for a black suede Adidas Gazelle size 9.5.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the second episode of “Meet The…”, Balazs chats with Alex Gravelle, the man behind Velle Alexander, a strap company from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Alex tells us why he chose this path, what watches he's into, and which timepiece is on top of his wish list.If you are a fan of the Fratello On Air podcast, first of all, thank you. Your support means a lot to us all, who sit down week after week to research, record, edit, and put out new episodes for your listening pleasure. I consume a lot of podcasts myself, so I know how it feels when my phone notifies me about a new episode from one of my favorite channels.Velle AlexanderWe featured Velle Alexander for the first time on Fratello in 2019. Then, last year, we revisited the brand, and I was happy to see how well the company had taken off since our initial article. Aside from the fantastic craftsmanship Alex imbues in his straps, he is also a great guy to talk to. His passion, attention to detail, and meticulous process never cease to amaze me. So, when the opportunity came to interview him for the next episode of “Meet The…” I did not hesitate one bit. The first part of our interview revolves around straps. We chatted about leathers, designs, special orders, and more. Later on, Alex and I moved on to other topics like watches, a bit about cars, and some more watches. We finished the talk with a fun round of This or That, but not before he gave us his SOTC (as we often used on watch forums back in the day, State Of The Collection). If you are looking for a strap, need inspiration for what to get, or want to spend some time on IG browsing through watch eye candy, I suggest you check out Velle Alexander's Instagram page. I kept on scrolling up and down during our interview, sometimes for questions, other times just admiring the level of watch (strap) photography he posts there. The idea for our new “Meet The…” series is simple. We'll feature another job or position in and around the watch industry or community in every episode. We'll chat with watchmakers, owners of strap ateliers, CEOs, collectors, and researchers. It's going to be fun and, hopefully, highly informative.As always, thanks for tuning in to Fratello On Air! Feel free to let us know if there's anything you'd like us to cover in future episodes.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Gina Yashere. Gina is currently producing, writing and acting in the sitcom “Bob Hearts Abishola” on CBS, which she co-created with Chuck Lorre. Gina harnesses risk to get what she wants in life – she was a successful standup comic in the UK, who had her eyes set on America. Gina took money that was earmarked for taxes in England and used it to finance the life she was striving for in the United States. Luckily for her and all of us who benefit from her comedy, Gina scored a commercial in England, which brought in enough cash to pay the taxman in the nick of time. Gina was born & raised in London UK, of Nigerian parents. She has been a stand up and TV star in the UK for numerous years now, with appearances on iconic TV shows such as “Live at The Apollo” and “Mock The Week”, as well as creating & performing the hugely popular comedic characters, Tanya & Mrs. Omokerede on “The Lenny Henry Show.” She broke onto the American comedy scene with her appearances on “Last Comic Standing” (NBC), where she made it to the final 10, and then never went home! Gina went on to be named one of the top 10 rising talents in the “Hollywood Reporter.” She is also known in the US for being the only British comedian to ever appear on the iconic “Def Comedy Jam,” as well as for her hilarious appearances on “The Tonight Show” (NBC) and “Crashing” on HBO. Gina self-produced three separate one-hour Stand Up Specials, “Skinny B*tch,” “Laughing To America,” and “Ticking Boxes,” two of which are currently streaming on Netflix. Her fourth stand-up special is also streaming on Netflix, as part of The Stand Ups, season 2, and is garnering rave reviews on the network. She is also regularly featured on Comedy Central as the British Correspondent on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.” Gina is also an in-demand voice artist. Gina has voiced characters in various animations, including Keisha in the British cult hit, “Bromwell High” and “Gravelle” in the latest movie from the makers of “Wallace & Gromit,” “Chicken Run,” “Early Man”! She can be currently heard playing a starfish called Gareth, on the Children's ITV show, “The Rubbish World of Dave Spud” (UK). Gina has performed for audiences not just in Europe, the US & Australia, but she is in fact, a highly sought-after comedian in Asia, making numerous sold-out appearances in Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Hong Kong. It's a wonder she found the time to pick up her fourth award in a row for “Best Comedian” at the recent Black Entertainment & Comedy Awards (UK). Gina has performed numerous times at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and Toronto. Feature films appearances have included “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and “Mr. Inbetween,” and she has also appeared on the West-End stage in “The Vagina Monologues.” See all episodes >
