Estate planning is\u00a0<\/span>often the cause of many worries as in order for your wishes to be carried out, you must consider a wide variety of factors.\u00a0Whether you are concerned about tax issues or a special needs child, the following tips for planning your estate will help\u00a0you make the right decisions regarding your assets:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepare a Will<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first step of estate planning is preparing a will. This will determine who gets what. If you fail to have a will drawn up to\u00a0designate who gets what, it will be left to the discretion of the courts. Instead of your special needs child receiving much\u00a0needed support, it could be left to someone else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Need Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have a child with special needs, it is extremely important to determine which assets you can leave them without\u00a0having it affect any benefits or assistance they may receive. You may also wish to choose a trustee for your will that will\u00a0make sure that any money is handled in the way you desire for your special needs child.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For many people, inheriting a large amount of money leaves them subject to a large inheritance tax. There are ways to\u00a0prevent this, including leaving only taxable assets to charities and non-taxable assets to your family. You may also wish to\u00a0consider gifting them assets while you are still here. If the gifted amount is under a certain amount, it will be considered a\u00a0non-taxable gift.\u00a0Estate planning is not an easy thing to take on, but it is one of the most important things you can do for your loved ones.\u00a0We at Mortellaro &amp; Sinadinos can help you to make certain that your will is exactly what you want and that your assets will\u00a0be properly distributed when the time comes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t wait!
