A path that leads them directly to their inheritance, your legacy. That's our role in your estate planning journey.

??♂? Avoid the capital gains TAX by doing this one simple thing: Gift your house to your kids AFTER you die (not before). If you give your house to your kids after you’re gone, your heirs will be protected by something called Step Up In Basis. ? It’s like hitting the reset button. So no matter how much your house has risen in value since you bought it, the step up in basis will “reset” and adjust the cost basis so your heirs won’t have to pay the tax on all of that increased value. Have questions about this tax? Send us a message! #tax #wills #estateplan

A good estate plan doesn't only distribute assets… It's leaving a lasting imprint that tells your story even after you're gone. It's about taking care of the people you love most, ensuring they're provided for and protected. Your estate plan becomes the voice that speaks your final wishes, giving you the peace of mind that everything will be handled just the way you want. ??? #EstatePlanning #Legacy #FamilyFirst

A trust is like an empty wallet: ?? It’s useless unless you fill it. Here’s a common situation on why trusts go through probate: Someone opens a trust. They put everything they own in the trust. Years later, they buy a second house ???. Forgot to put the house in the trust. Their heir has to go to probate because that second house wasn’t in the trust. Lesson: Make sure everything is included in your trust! #probate #trusts #estateplanninglawyer

HOW TO: ? Make a will valid. Every state has a different stance on this, but for the most part: It needs to be written. It needs to be signed by the person who owns the will. It needs to be signed by 2 witnesses. Be sure you double check with an attorney (or find your state laws online), to make sure your will is valid in your state. #Wills #EstatePlan #DIY
