When we first begin working with a client who is setting up their estate plan and, more specifically, building a trust, the number one question we always get is whether they need a revocable or an irrevocable trust. For us, this is always an interesting and fun conversation because as soon as the client hears the difference, they immediately know which tool they need.  Not to give it all away, but the standard option is the revocable trust; however, there are certain instances in which the irrevocable trust is needed—there is no one-size-fits-all approach to estate planning. So, which trust is right for your specific circumstance? Press play and listen in for more details, and of course, when you meet with your estate planning attorney, they will help ensure you're making the right decision to protect your loved ones and your future.  Time-stamped Show Notes:  0:00 Introduction 0:55 A revocable trust is what we typically do in our practice, which gives you control over everything in your trust, you are in charge.  1:10 An irrevocable trust is used to give everything away; you can't change it.  1:58 Next, Madison discusses in more detail why you would want to use an irrevocable trust and how they are set up.  4:40 If you're worried about being sued, that may be another issue. Your trust isn't generally going to protect you from something like that. Here's what you need to know.

Welcome back! In our last episode of Absolute Trust Talk, we were joined by expert psychotherapist and certified coach Tess Brigham, MFT, BCC, to discuss the differences between generations and, more specifically, examine the unique dynamics between Baby Boomer parents and Millennial children.  In this episode, we continue our conversation with Tess, focusing on the interactions between Gen X parents and Gen Z children. These two generations are very interesting as Gen Xers were heavily influenced by events like the Persian Gulf War, the women's movement, and high divorce rates. As Tess points out, this generation is a very “figure it out on your own” group. Whereas Gen Zers are true digital natives and have no real concept of life before technology. We hope you will listen in as we talk about how these generations' unique experiences shaped their approach to estate planning. Plus, we share some special insights from real client stories!  Time-stamped Show Notes:  0:00 Introduction 1:19 To kick off the episode, Tess gives us a little background refresher on what types of events and movements had an impact on these two generations.  7:30 One way the younger generations differ from the older ones, in terms of estate planning, is how they consider the possibility of divorce and whether they want to burden their children with responsibility. Listen in to learn more!  10:55 We're likely all familiar with the stereotype that the oldest daughter always gets the responsibility of taking care of her parents, but will this continue with the newer generations?  14:05 At the end of the day, women are biologically and evolutionarily designed to care for family, so perhaps we won't see a change in the oldest-daughter-caretaker stereotype after all. Only time will tell!  15:29 As we wrap up the show, we highlight why it's important to analyze how these heavy conversations play out among generations.

Have you ever had a pesky neighbor encroaching on your land?

Or maybe you've recently inherited the family home but share it with your siblings and cannot agree on what to do with it. How do you resolve these types of challenges? Do you have a friendly conversation? Do you engage a lawyer and go to court? In this podcast episode, we sit down with Steven Kahn, a civil litigation attorney who focuses on real estate and business disputes involving real estate. He is a partner at Hoge Fenton, has been a Northern California Super Lawyer four years in a row, and has been a Northern California Super Lawyer Rising Star for five years. With his accolades and over nineteen years of experience in trials, arbitrations, and problem-solving, Steven is the perfect candidate to share his insights on various real estate issues.  “When you bought your house, you probably got a title insurance policy, and it probably has something attached to it called an assessor's parcel map that looks like a map of your neighborhood, but it doesn't actually show where your boundaries are. It was created by the taxing authority to have a general idea of how big the land is.” So, join us in our 120th episode of Absolute Trust Talk as we discuss: How to divide up real estate that has been inherited by more than one beneficiary The ins and outs regarding boundary disputes What court proceedings for real estate issues may look like – depending on the case Discussions on the recent Mount Diablo dispute What you can do if a neighbor blocks your view from your property The difference between adverse possession and prescriptive easements  And much more!  There's nothing quite like a real estate or land dispute to ruin neighbor or familial relationships.

In this final episode of ThimbleberryU's six-part series,  Jag and Amy delve into the critical topic of legacy and estate planning for healthcare professionals. Amy points out the potential disputes and uncertainties that can arise without proper planning, as seen in the cases of Prince and Aretha Franklin. Legacy planning ensures that assets are distributed according to one's wishes and helps in leaving a lasting impact, whether it's for loved ones, charitable causes, or the healthcare practice itself.Prince's estate faced a lengthy legal battle due to the absence of a will, despite having a Revocable Trust. Similarly, Aretha Franklin's lack of a will or trust led to potential disagreements among her heirs and increased estate taxes. These examples highlight the consequences of not having proper estate planning documentation.The first step in legacy planning is setting clear expectations with loved ones and ensuring that one's will or trust is legally sound and reflective of their desires. This helps avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.  Amy compares trusts with wills, explaining the benefits of trusts, such as privacy, probate avoidance, control over asset distribution, and safeguarding one's practice. Trusts, unlike wills, remain private and allow for direct distribution of assets to beneficiaries without court intervention. Trusts also provide more flexibility in how assets are distributed and can be particularly useful in protecting a healthcare practice.An unfunded trust, like Prince had, lacks assets, which are necessary for the trust's instructions to apply. Other common mistakes in legacy planning, such as failing to update estate plans regularly and not considering tax implications, as seen in the cases of Philip Seymour Hoffman and James Gandolfini.We aren't all gloom and doom today, however. Amy shares success stories of healthcare professionals who effectively planned their estates, ensuring smooth transitions of their practices and creating lasting impacts through charitable foundations or scholarships. The power of legacy planning and the importance of organizing financial affairs benefits loved ones and the profession.To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, listeners can reach out by calling 503-610-6510 or visiting thimbleberryfinancial.com.

If you're someone who is serving in the role of trustee, executor, conservator, or guardian, acting as a personal representative for someone's estate in California, did you know that the state has specific guidelines for probate accounting? According to section 16062, the California probate code requires representatives to provide an accounting at least once a year. The purpose is usually two-fold: to show beneficiaries what assets exist, how they've been handled, how much is left to be divided up, and to show the individual in control of the money is doing their job.   “Unlike giving a few specific documents to your CPA to prepare for a tax return, we need everything - every transaction that happens within a trust estate or conservatorship. It's a lot of information.” The problem is that most people whose names are tasked with the role of trustee or conservator have no idea how to prepare this type of formal accounting. Even for those confident in their accounting skills, the process is technical, tedious, and can be wrought with many opportunities for mistakes. The good news is you don't have to do it alone. There are professionals who do complete probate code-compliant accounting for a living. One of these professionals, Heather Hamilton, founder of Fiduciary Accounting Services, LLC (FAS), is joining us on this episode of Absolute Trust Talk.  Heather holds a bachelor's degree in finance from California State University, Chico, and worked in commercial banking for 15 years before founding FAS in 2007. The goal of this company was to focus purely on fiduciary accounting, making this expert service more available and taking the load off the shoulders of others. Since then, FAS has grown to be the largest provider of accounting for trusts, estates, and conservatorships in California, focusing entirely on fiduciary accounting.  Join us as we discuss: The particular challenges that come with fiduciary accounting, both for the accountants and the clients Why you may need a fiduciary accounting in the first place What is required for this type of accounting Tips and advice on how to ensure a smooth accounting process And much more! Whether you need formal probate-compliant accounting now or you're preparing for the future, this episode will help you understand what to expect and how to prepare and even show you what to avoid.

You may have heard the sentiment that parenting is one of the most challenging yet most rewarding jobs there is. That is even more true when raising a child with special needs because they often come with unique challenges. It's easy to quickly become overwhelmed mentally, emotionally, and even financially and physically at times. Your sense of normalcy may seem different from others around you, leading you to feel isolated and alone, unsure of what to do or where to turn.  To help provide some answers, we sat down with Kerrie Lloyd, Vice President at Index Fund Advisors, author of Planning the Future for A Special Needs Child, and founder of Integrative Solution Services LLC, where she provides consulting and collaborative tools to the special needs community.

She also earned her Chartered Special Needs Consultant (ChSNC®)* designation in 2020 through The American College for Financial Services, a fully accredited institution by the Middle States Commission of Higher Education. Despite all the accolades, Kerrie's most important job is as Adam's mom. Adam was diagnosed with Autism and Deafness early on, and through her experiences with him, she has learned what it takes to raise and care for a special needs child. Kerrie noticed that special needs children go through a series of life stages, each marked by major events, such as diagnosis, the beginning of school, and the transition to adulthood. Having this knowledge makes it easier to prepare for each stage, eliminating the fear of the unknown for parents. Now that Kerrie is in the later stages with Adam, she has compiled her experiences and resources to share this insight and knowledge with others. In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, we will discuss: The six stages of life for an individual with special needs. The key planning components and milestones that mark each of the stages.  What the transitions from each phase look like.  Important resources that are available and how to access them.  The importance of obtaining legal help to ensure that parents understand their rights, know what they can ask for, and ensure that they aren't missing any steps.  And much more.  It can be difficult to navigate life's complexities with a special needs child, but you don't have to go through it alone. Understanding these life stages can help you better understand your child, feel more prepared for each milestone, and even unlock enriching and fulfilling moments.

A revocable trust can have many advantages versus just having a simple will. While many are predisposed to want a simple will, the truth is that a simple will result in all assets passing through the probate court. The probate court can be a slow, cumbersome, and costly process. On the other hand, having a revocable trust can create a more straightforward, faster, and less costly process in the long run. To find out more on this topic, you can read our article on Family Law Headquarters titled: What's the Advantage of a Revocable Trust?  You can also call our Estate Planning Attorneys at 855-805-0595 or reach out to our trust attorneys in Chicago, Illinois and elsewhere online.

Actor and radio personality Casey Kasem occupied a singular place in American popular culture. As he counted down the hits for the week via his show, American Top 40, he was also doing something else that was decidedly more important — providing a sense of consistency that we could all rely on. World affairs might rattle us, and the financial markets volatility might worry us, but regardless of what else was transpiring in the world, we could always count on Casey to entertain us with his one-of-a-kind voice, and all would still seem more or less normal. Unfortunately, the final chapter of Casey's own life was anything but ordinary. In 2013, one of Casey's daughters from his first marriage announced that he had been living with Parkinson's for six years. However, the diagnosis was later changed to Lewy Body Dementia. Not long after, Casey's three adult children assembled in front of his house to publicly complain that Jean Kasem — Casey's wife of 30 years — was intentionally keeping them from their now-incapacitated father. Things only got more vitriolic and combative, with circumstances pitting Jean Kasem and her reckless and duplicitous behavior against Casey's three older children. Join Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Madison Gunn as they examine the circumstances surrounding Casey Kasem's much-publicized and most unusual passing. We're not using the term “unusual” loosely here, as several aspects thoroughly separate this case from the estate planning disputes we often see. This conflict didn't stem from haphazard estate planning, nor was money the source of discord for this blended family. This altercation was centered almost entirely on how Casey's health care should be administered. Kirsten and Madison will also look at some new California healthcare legislation — Sections 4711 and 4712 of the California Probate Code and analyze what, if any, difference it might have made had it been in effect while Casey's unfortunate saga was playing out. In this episode, we're going to discuss: How even a well-thought-out, comprehensive health care directive and a court-appointed conservatorship can be rendered ineffectual when an involved party chooses to blatantly disregard them. Why doctors are inclined to seek authority to treat their incapacitated patients and not pursue the whereabouts of advance health care directives unless those documents are brought to their attention? Why proper communication is the most overlooked aspect of estate planning. Why Casey's decision to list his daughter Kerri, and not his wife Jean, as his agent on his health care directive might have reflected his concerns about how Jean might handle such authority. And much more. Don't miss this episode as we highlight some important legal wisdom that could have alleviated the conflict in this estate plan that you should be aware of for your own planning.

Ever open a closet drawer only to discover something from your past that's long since been rendered obsolete? More often than not, this obsolescence comes by virtue of outdated technology — or, in the case of clothing, because of a shift in what's considered fashionable. Think VHS players, a Sony Walkman . . .  parachute pants. While you probably wouldn't expect to find any such relics within the realm of estate planning, they might just exist there too. If you're married, an excellent case in point is the AB trust you've been holding onto for quite some time — maybe without even knowing it. And like those archaic electronic devices or that “of its time” fashion, it may be time to kick it to the curb. At one time, AB Trusts were very common. They harnessed a specifically designed structure to minimize exposure to the California estate tax laws that included a surprisingly low exemption — as low as $1 million dollars. So, if a couple had a worth of $2 million and one spouse died, the remaining spouse was often saddled with a substantial estate tax liability. But, in 2013, those estate tax laws changed dramatically. That exemption mentioned above was bumped up by a multiple of more than 12 times — meaning that it now shielded a far greater number of estates from estate tax liability and, for many couples, also rendered their AB Trust obsolete. Are you one of these couples? Tune into the latest episode of Absolute Trust Talk to find out. Kirsten Howe and associate attorney, Madison Gunn, will take a close look at AB Trusts, including the reasons why they became such a “go-to” strategy for so many married couples, why this type of trust can be more trouble than they're worth for some, and how they still offer specific protection that may make them invaluable for a few others. In this episode, we're going to discuss: Why AB Trusts were often the perfect fit for married couples based on the estate tax laws in place about a decade ago. How the AB Trust got its name — including Kirsten's take on the trust's naming origin. The specific requirements of an AB Trust. These requirements entail a considerable amount of legal and accounting work at a certain point, and extra costs come with that. The primary consideration that must be made to determine whether or not an AB Trust is still the best option for you. Some scenarios that can play out in the absence of an AB trust. These scenarios may make an AB Trust your best option despite its requirements. Why, if you haven't updated your trust in the past decade, you should make an appointment with your trust attorney ASAP. And more. Despite those changes to California estate tax laws, many couples still retain an AB Trust that will profoundly impact how their estate is maintained in the event one spouse dies. It's our goal for you to walk away with a clear understanding of this sometimes misunderstood — and potentially outdated — estate tax strategy.

E299 When do Solo Agers Need a Revocable Trust?

Simple Money Wins

Sometimes a revocable trust makes great sense for a solo ager estate plan. Generally, revocable trusts aren't so great in New York, because they can be hard to fully fund. The main goal of a revocable trust is to avoid probate. Since revocable trusts are hard to fully fund, the goal of avoiding probate is not usually met. Here are a few reasons a revocable trust may nonetheless work for a solo ager. Distant or disinherited heirs Solo agers tend to have distant or disinherited heirs. By definition, a solo ager is usually unmarried, without children, or those individuals are not in the picture. Naturally, this puts the solo ager in a situation where their heirs are distance (nieces, nephews, siblings, etc.). We had a recent client whose solo natural heir was a distant cousin. In this case, a trust makes sense to avoid probate. When the remaining heir is a first cousin, there are extra hurdles during the court process such as: hiring a genealogist to submit a genealogy report, having the Public Administrator (PA) review court dates, and it generally makes probate longer and more difficult. To be clear, this process not only applies when you leave something to that distant cousin. Rather, the probate process requires you to notify you natural “default” heirs under New York State law, which includes distant cousins. Even if you don't want to leave anything to the distant heir, the estate is still required to go through this process if the estate is probated. Similarly, if you have a disinherited family member, they have the opportunity to object to your will or wishes during the probate process. Having a trust still gives them the opportunity to object, but it is not as structured as probate. Under the probate process, the heirs must be served notice of the proposed will distributions, during which they have the right to object. When administering a trust, the heirs are not required to receive notice. Unless the heirs do some digging on their own, they may not actually object. As mentioned above, you must fully fund your trust in order to avoid these problems. Say you have an apartment, a few bank accounts, and a few brokerage accounts. If, for example, the apartment does not make it into the trust, you still have to go through probate even if the bank and brokerage accounts are in the trust. Even if only one asset goes through probate, you are at risk for a longer probate process (described above) and the potential issues with distant heirs. In lieu of guardianship A revocable trust can be useful in lieu of guardianship. Putting your assets into a trust can help avoid and maybe deter the dreaded court-appointed stranger. There are situations where court-appointed strangers/guardians might impose themselves on a solo ager with no advocates. They might get the court to agree that the solo ager is incompetent to manage assets (when in fact, the solo ager is able). Thus, the court-appointed guardian gains control over the solo ager's assets. The Netflix movie, “I Care a Lot,” is a dramatized version of how something like this could happen. If all of your assets are in a trust, and the trust is drafted properly, the court will not appoint a stranger or guardian to gain control of your assets. The trust states who will receive your assets, so there is little incentive for a person to try to get appointed as your guardian. For the goal of avoiding guardianship, partial funding of the trust if ok if you are able to get the majority of your assets into the trust. As long as the assets that don't make it into the trust are not enough of to lure a court-appointed stranger, then it should be fine. Again, it is a lot of work for someone to convince the court that you are incompetent. End of life planning (maybe) When you are terminally ill, you know that the end is near. This makes planning easier, because you know what your assets will be upon your passing. In contrast, planning at a younger age means that bank accounts will change or you may buy and sell houses. Knowing roughly when you might die makes it less likely that you will miss something during the trust funding process. But, even if you know that exact date and time that you will die, it's still hard to capture every asset. Also, if you are terminally ill, you may not want to spend your last moments planning your trust.
