Based on your last post and your first sentence above I would say the answer to your second sentence above would be “the same thing @BillStime does for a living”.
Even without kids. When I realized what a cluster***** I’d leave for my family if the wife and I go we got it done. Just had it updated. I’m leaving everything to Tibs.
He thinks this is all a hoax? Where do you get that from his post?
And good job turning he post into your opportunity to "Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump".
Welcome! We need more TDSers here.
I also tell the same attorney just show them the rate of return on the cost of the trust. $2,000 trust today could save $100's of thousands in probate down the road.
I usually highly recommend against them but there are paid legal firms that do them relatively cheaply. It's up to you to fund these trusts however which is key. If you don't fund your trust you spent a lot of money for a nice binder of paper.
Correct but it will (no pun intended) be a mess with probate. I work with an estate attorney so tells people who don't want to do a trust that he'll gladly probate their estate. He will make a *****-ton (legal term) more money. People are very uneducated on these things.
So let me get this straight? So the fear of death is having people do planning? I have a newsflash for them. We're all gonna die and we don't know when.
I would have asked him to define "a ton".
Not to pick a nit but a will does very little to protect your assets after death. It's better than intestate but it will still be a mess.
Yeah it takes a lot of time to respond to your whining.
So I had some good ideas. Instead of saying “hey that’s a good idea, it will be costly but we’ll figure it out” you dismissed it outright with “how are we going to pay for it??” Again figure it out. Any good idea is worth finding the money to pay for it. Hell how my trillions has the Fed handed out?
