Taking Inventory: The Foundation of a Secure Future
Today, we’re sitting down with Steve Bliss, a respected estate planning attorney serving the Moreno Valley community. Steve, thank you for taking the time to speak with us.
Steve Bliss: It’s my pleasure. I believe everyone deserves peace of mind knowing their loved ones are taken care of.
One crucial step in the estate planning process is taking inventory of assets. Can you elaborate on why this is so important?
Steve Bliss: Taking inventory is like laying the groundwork for your entire plan. You need to know what you’re working with before you can decide how to distribute it. It involves listing all your possessions – from real estate and investments to personal belongings and digital assets. This detailed list allows us to accurately assess your estate’s value and ensures that nothing is overlooked.
Moreover, a comprehensive inventory helps avoid potential disputes among heirs. When everyone knows what exists and its estimated worth, it minimizes the chances of disagreements or unexpected claims arising after your passing. Consequently, clear communication through a well-documented inventory promotes family harmony during a difficult time.
I recall one instance where a client had forgotten about an old retirement account they’d set up years ago. It contained a substantial sum that would have been completely overlooked without a thorough inventory. We were able to locate it and include it in their estate plan, ultimately providing a significant benefit for their beneficiaries.
Notwithstanding its importance, many individuals underestimate the complexity of asset inventory. They might assume it’s simply a matter of listing bank accounts and property deeds. However, it often involves digging deeper – uncovering old insurance policies, forgotten savings bonds, and even digital assets like cryptocurrency holdings.
According to a recent study by the National Endowment for Financial Education, nearly 60% of Americans do not have a written inventory of their assets. This highlights a critical need for greater awareness about the importance of this step.
