Does your Estate Planning Pass the Test?
It is never too early to plan your estate. If it is large, it could be exposed to inheritance tax at 40%, and if it is small, advance planning can help you ensure that your assets will go to your chosen beneficiaries.
Making a Will
Estate planning begins with the following decisions:
- Who will inherit your assets?
- When should the recipients receive them?
- What limitations will be placed on the recipients?
A Will should also stipulate who is to be your minor child(ren)'s guardian. Although making a Will makes your decision legally binding, the Will can be amended any time you change your mind.
