Taking Inventory of Your Assets
Today we’re joined by Steve Bliss, a renowned estate planning attorney here in Moreno Valley. Steve, thank you for taking the time to speak with us.
It’s a pleasure to be here. I believe everyone should have a solid estate plan in place, regardless of their financial situation.
Let’s delve into one of the foundational steps of estate planning: taking inventory of assets. Can you explain why this is so crucial?
Taking inventory of your assets is the bedrock of any comprehensive estate plan. It provides a clear picture of what you own and allows you to make informed decisions about how you want those assets distributed. Ordinarily, people think only of their home or savings accounts when considering assets. But remember to include everything – vehicles, jewelry, investments, retirement accounts, even digital assets like online accounts.
Failing to account for all your assets can lead to confusion and potentially costly legal battles down the line. Consequently, a meticulous inventory ensures your wishes are carried out accurately and minimizes the chances of unforeseen complications. Moreover, keeping this inventory up-to-date as your circumstances change is essential.
I’ve seen firsthand the impact of incomplete asset inventories. For instance, I once worked with a family who discovered a substantial life insurance policy after their loved one passed away. Unfortunately, because it wasn’t included in the estate plan, the distribution process was significantly delayed and caused considerable stress during an already difficult time.
A 2021 study by Caring.com found that nearly 60% of Americans do not have a will or trust in place. This highlights the critical need for individuals to prioritize their estate planning needs. A complete asset inventory is the first step toward ensuring your legacy is protected and your loved ones are taken care of.
Taking Control of Your Future
Steve, what advice would you give to someone who’s feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of estate planning?
It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed. Estate planning can seem complex, but remember, it’s about taking control of your future and protecting those you care about most. The key is to start small and seek guidance from a qualified professional.
