Estate Planning: The Difference Between Revocable vs Irrevocable Living Trusts

January 26, 2023/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

You have worked hard to get where you are in life. Maybe you started a business, own a home and property, or have made wise investments. As you think about the future, it’s important to decide how you want those assets distributed and to make a plan to ensure those decisions are implemented. Sometimes people choose to establish a living trust, which is a written, legal document that helps protect your assets while you are still alive and provide for your family after your death. Essentially, you put your assets into a trust and assign a trustee (which can be yourself) to manage the trust property and administer your estate for your benefit during your lifetime and to manage the distribution of those assets after your death. 

Although there are several benefits to having a living trust, arguably the most important is that you will protect your estate from the probate process, which can take over a year and incur significant legal fees. A living trust, on the other hand, can usually be settled within weeks. Other advantages include avoiding the probate process in other states if you own out of state property and providing the opportunity for a trusted family member or friend to manage the trust if you become incapacitated. In addition, some individuals choose living trusts because they are more difficult to contest than a standard will.  

What assets should be in a living trust?

Generally speaking, you will want to include several different types of assets in your living trust, including: 

  • Bank accounts – checking, saving, and money market
  • Real estate – homes and property
  • Investments – stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
  • Personal property – family heirlooms, jewelry, furniture, etc.
  • Life insurance policy

Revocable vs. Irrevocable Living Trust

There are two types of living trusts – revocable and irrevocable. Each has its own advantages and drawbacks. The main differences between revocable and irrevocable living trust are: 

  1. Flexibility: Revocable living trusts are most commonly used in estate planning since they allow you to amend, add to, or even completely revoke your living trust as the need arises, if your circumstances or finances change. As the name suggests, an irrevocable living trust is less flexible than a revocable living trust, requiring court or beneficiary approval for any changes once it has been notarized and executed.
  2. Ownership: In a revocable living trust, the person who created the trust continues to have ownership or control over the assets in the eyes of the law. Trust property in an irrevocable trust, on the other hand, belongs to the trust itself, rather than the individual.
  3. Asset Protection: Because assets in an irrevocable trust are controlled by the trust rather than the individual who set up the trust, they are better protected against creditor claims than assets in a revocable trust, which are still owned by the individual. If you don’t need to worry about creditors, however, revocable trusts are usually a better choice since you maintain control and can make changes easily.
  4. Tax Savings: Once assets are transferred into an irrevocable living trust, they are no longer considered a part of an individual’s taxable estate. Therefore, your beneficiaries may pay less estate tax after your death. This benefit is especially important for people with more extensive estates or assets.

Why Estate Planning is Essential for Parents of Children with Special Needs

November 15, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

As the parent of a child with special needs, it can be difficult to think about the future when you will no longer be able to personally provide the loving care your child needs and deserves. One important way that you can continue to provide for your child, however, is to have an estate plan in place to ensure they have the legal, financial, and other support they need both now and in the future when you are no longer able to advocate on their behalf. 

What An Estate Plan Includes

Estate planning is not contingent on having a substantial amount of wealth and is not limited to distribution of your assets alone. Rather, estate planning is the process of organizing both your financial and personal affairs to ensure that your final wishes are honored and your loved ones are taken care of after you are gone. For families, estate plans can allow you to assign insurance beneficiaries, plan for funeral expenses, and establish guardianship for living dependents, which is vital if you have young children or children with special needs who might never be in a position to effectively manage an inheritance on their own.

Special Needs Trust

If you are the parent of a special needs child, you must balance giving your child a portion of your estate with ensuring that those finances do not negatively impact your child’s eligibility to receive needs-based public benefits like Medicaid, Social Security Income, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Many of these benefits are only available to low-income individuals with limited assets, so leaving a lump sum of money as an inheritance to your special needs child might not be in their best interest. Instead, you should consider setting up a special needs trust (SNT), which allows you to leave the property and other assets to your child without disqualifying them from government-funded benefits. Setting up an SNT has the added benefit of allowing your loved one to receive assets from other people, including family members, as well.

If you choose to set up an SNT, you must also appoint a trustee to manage the funds on your child’s behalf. Your trustee will use the funds to support your special needs child’s quality of life, paying for anything he or she might require in the future, which could include, among other things:

  • Food 
  • Transportation
  • Rehabilitation 
  • Clothing 
  • Medical care
  • Entertainment
  • Vacations 
  • Hobbies 

It is important to include specific instructions in your SNT documents about how you want your appointed trustee to distribute the funds to properly care for and support your child. 

Are You the Parent of a Child with Special Needs? We Can Help Protect Their Future.

The best time to begin estate planning, especially if you have a special needs child you want to provide for, is now. Although it can be uncomfortable to consider the inevitable, developing an estate plan can help ease your mind that your wishes will be carried out, and that your family will be protected in the future. Navigating all the different components of a comprehensive estate plan can be daunting, but the estate planning attorneys at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri Law can help guide you every step of the way. In fact, our attorneys have particular expertise and experience in developing special needs trusts. Call us today at 408-553-0801 to schedule your free consultation.

What Happens When You Inherit an IRA?

October 12, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

The short answer is: it depends. Navigating what happens after inheriting an IRA (individual retirement) account can seem overwhelming, but we at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri are here to help you know your options and determine your next steps. Estate planning is one of our areas of expertise, and we are more than happy to help you make decisions regarding your new inheritance.

Know what kind of IRA you have inherited.

The very first thing to do upon finding out you have inherited an IRA is to figure out important details such as what type of account it is. There are multiple types of IRAs, but the most common two are a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA.

  • With a traditional IRA, you contribute money before you are taxed on it. The money contributed might be able to be deducted from your taxes, and the money invested grows tax-deferred until withdrawing the money. Oftentimes retirees are in a lower tax bracket when they were working, the money might be taxed at a lower rate when they do begin withdrawing funds.
  • With a Roth IRA, you are taxed in your contributions before investing them. This means that when you do begin withdrawing money, you will not pay taxes on it, as long as you meet certain requirements.

Knowing the account type is significant because the tax treatment remains the same for the heir as it was with the original owner. The beneficiary will typically have to move the assets from the original account over to a newly opened inherited IRA in their name.

What type of beneficiary are you?

Anyone is able to inherit an IRA, but the rules for what they can do with it differ depending on whether the heir is the spouse of the deceased or not. Due to the passage of the SECURE Act of 2019, non-spousal heirs who inherit an IRA on or after January 1, 2020, now have even more limited options than before. Funds must be spent within 10 years of the original account owner’s passing, regardless of account type. Spouses tend to have more freedom with how they manage their inherited IRA.

Other factors that come into play include when the account was opened and if the original investor had begun taking out their required minimum distributions (RMD) for a traditional IRA.

There is no one-size-fits-all explanation for inheriting an IRA.

Each situation is different, and every heir faces different circumstances. Here at LPEP Law, we have highly qualified trust and estate lawyers on staff who are eager to help you determine your next steps once you inherit an IRA. Click here to schedule a free 30-minute consultation with us, or give us a call at 408-553-0801. We are more than happy to equip you with the knowledge of how to proceed as a beneficiary. We are committed to treating every individual client with the utmost respect and professionalism, and to making this journey as easy as possible for you.

Estate Planning: When Should You Begin?

August 16, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

When should you begin starting your estate plan? The short answer is: if you’re reading this, it’s time. There are many misconceptions about the estate planning process and we are here to break it down so you don’t have to. While a portion of estate planning does refer to the management of any of your assets (including your house and retirement funds), that is not all an estate plan is for.

Estate plans can also be used to assign insurance beneficiaries, plan for funeral expenses, and establish guardianship over any living dependents. Keeping all of that in mind, it can be overwhelming to think about creating an estate plan. Making decisions for an estate plan is something that is easy to put off in favor of other, more pressing matters. However, an estate plan does not need to be created all at once and can easily be updated to reflect your priorities. Keep reading to discover when to begin estate planning and how to establish a timeline that is comfortable for you.

When to Begin Thinking About Your Estate Plan

The general rule for estate planning is “the earlier, the better.” Even if you do not consider yourself to have many assets, starting your estate plan as early as possible can save you time down the road. Assets to consider including in your estate plan at the start can be your bank account, any of your personal belongings, and a life insurance policy. Beginning your estate plan early makes it much easier to edit and add on to your estate plan as the nature of your assets change.

When to Make Changes

Estate plans cover vital information, so it makes sense that they can be changed to reflect your life situation. Significant life events, such as getting married, can be a great opportunity to reevaluate and update your estate plan. Updating your estate plan after having or adopting a child is also crucial. Estate plans include the ability to assign guardianship over dependents, allowing you to secure your child’s future. Buying property or switching jobs are also examples of events that are good triggers for estate plan evaluation. Major life events are not the only time you can update your estate plan, though. Making sure your plan is up to date prior to any large vacations or international travel is also a great idea. Evaluating and updating your estate plan frequently is an excellent way to make sure that all of your assets and loved ones are accounted for.

Estate plans are essential for ensuring that your decisions about your assets are known and respected. Estate plans are meant to be thorough and starting the process can feel daunting. At Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri, our experienced estate planning attorneys are here to guide you through creating an estate plan tailored to your needs. Call us at 408-553-0801 to get started today with a free consultation.

What Happens If I Don’t Do Estate Planning?

August 9, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

No one likes to think about their mortality, but it is essential to plan for the future. It is tempting to put off creating your estate plan, but what happens if you wait too long?

Creating an estate plan is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your loved ones. This document will dictate how your property is distributed after you die, and it can also provide instructions for health care decisions if you cannot make them yourself. If you don’t have an estate plan in place, it could lead to a lot of stress and confusion for your loved ones during a difficult time.

Elements of Estate Plans

An estate plan is a thorough a set of documents that may include a trust, Powers of Attorney, and advance directives. Each of these tools serves a different purpose, and they can all be customized to fit your unique needs.

A Power of Attorney (POA) can give someone the authority to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated and an advance directive can outline your wishes for end-of-life care. Having a POA and an advance directive saves your loved ones from having to make critical decisions under stress.

Trusts are an effective way to plan ahead by letting another party (either a person or institution) manage assets for you. Establishing a trust can be more costly, but it is a way to ensure that your heirs will receive their inheritance without going through probate court. Probate is the legal process of transferring your assets to your heirs, and it can be both time-consuming and expensive.

You might be asking yourself, “Isn’t having a will enough?”  While a will is an integral part of any estate plan, it is not the only component. A will only goes into effect after you die, and it can only address your assets that are subject to probate. In contrast, an estate plan can take effect while you are still alive, and it can cover all of your assets, including those that are not subject to probate.

How Do I Create an Estate Plan?

Creating a comprehensive estate plan requires more than just drafting a few documents. It involves taking a close look at your assets, liabilities, and family situation and then making strategic decisions about how to best protect your interests. Our experienced estate planning attorneys at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policasti can help you identify and assess your unique needs and create a plan that fits those needs. We have years of experience making estate plans for people throughout San Jose and the greater Bay Area.

Why Is Estate Planning Important?

July 19, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

Oftentimes, estate planning can be misconstrued with needing to have a substantial amount of wealth – but that is not the case. Estate planning is a great way to make sure that your wishes are carried out regardless of your financial status. Protecting your assets and loved ones is essential in understanding the importance of estate planning and preserving your legacy.

Here are a few reasons why everyone, including you, should consider the importance of estate planning:

– It’s Not Just a Will

An estate plan is more than a will. While it is an avenue for people to understand how your assets should be handled, it is also much more than that. An estate plan can assist in helping your family understand what treatments you do, or don’t, want if you are unable to advocate for yourself. It is also a clear way to designate who should receive which of your monetary assets, including retirement accounts.

– It Saves Time and Money

Since the primary function of an estate plan is to provide instructions for beneficiaries, it can be hard to do so without one. If your estate plan does not exist, your assets can then be liable to distribution by the state. This can often involve the lengthy process of the state identifying your assets and then determining who they should belong to. Additionally, there are a lot of financial and tax rules that apply to assets once they no longer belong to you. Estate plans can help you navigate and understand taxes ahead of time so that the burden doesn’t fall on your loved ones.  The only person who knows who your assets should go to is you. Making an estate plan saves those around you the mystery of what your wishes would be.

– It Protects Your Family

An estate plan allows you to have control, which means it can also help protect your family. Since estate plans provide a clear directive, it helps keep a lot of confusion away from your heirs. Reflecting on your assets and the people in your life that they should go to is a great way to keep things up to date. Without a directive, it can be difficult for those around you to understand what should go to who. Additionally, estate plans are a directive toward guardianship of children under the age of eighteen.

Get an Experienced Estate Planning Attorney on Your Side

While it can be difficult to think of the inevitable, by having an estate plan, you can feel confident that your wishes will be carried out. Estate plans put you in control, giving you the peace of mind that a decision has been made. LPEP law has helped hundreds of people like you to put things into perspective and understand the importance of estate planning. Our estate planning attorneys make the process as seamless as possible, guiding you every step of the way. When you’re ready, call us at 408-553-0801 to get started.

Do I Need a Trust to Avoid Probate?

June 29, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

Very few people want to see an estate end up in probate. It is an expensive and lengthy process that requires a judge to validate and authenticate your will and name an executor. Creditors must then be notified and paid off before distributing your assets to the beneficiaries.

There are a few ways to prevent probate litigation, such as joint ownership and gifting some of your possessions to your loved ones while you are still alive. Another way to avoid probate is by establishing trusts. 

What are trusts, and how can you set one up?

Types of Trusts

A trust is a legal arrangement in which one person (a trustee) manages property of another person (the beneficiary). Revocable, irrevocable, and testamentary trusts may be terms you have heard.

Revocable and irrevocable are living trusts that go into effect and are funded while the grantor is still alive. A testamentary trust is created through a will and does not take effect until after the grantor’s death.

Trusts can effectively manage your property and ensure it is distributed according to your wishes. But, each of them has its benefits and drawbacks.

Revocable Trusts

  • A revocable trust can be changed or terminated at any time by the person who created it, called the grantor. In addition to being a way to avoid probate, a revocable can be used to manage assets during the grantor’s lifetime, which can be helpful if the grantor becomes incapacitated.
  • Revocable trusts also have some drawbacks. Because the grantor retains control over the assets in the trust, they are still considered part of the grantor’s estate for tax purposes. Additionally, revocable trusts do not offer the same level of asset protection as irrevocable trusts.

Irrevocable Trusts

  • An irrevocable trust cannot be changed or terminated once created without the beneficiaries’ approval. This may seem like a drawback, but it provides some distinct advantages:
  • An irrevocable trust can help to protect assets from creditors. Once an asset is transferred into the trust, it becomes the property of the trust and is no longer subject to the claims of the grantor’s creditors.
  • It can help to minimize estate taxes. Assets in an irrevocable trust are not included in the grantor’s estate for tax purposes, so they are not subject to estate taxes when the grantor dies. An irrevocable trust can help ensure that assets are distributed according to the grantor’s wishes.
  • One common issue with irrevocable trusts is that they may not be able to be adapted to changes in the needs of the beneficiaries. For example, if a beneficiary develops a medical condition that requires expensive treatment, an irrevocable trust may not be able to be modified to provide for that need.

Power of Attorney Duties after the Principal’s Death

June 14, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

Power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes someone to act on behalf of another person. The person who designates power of attorney is the principal. The person acting on behalf of the principal is known as the agent. 

This can be helpful if you need to delegate authority temporarily to manage finances, make medical decisions, or handle other legal matters when you are unable to act on your own behalf, such as during medical emergencies or extended travel abroad.

However, after the principal dies, a question often arises: who will handle their estate and manage affairs? The answer is a person with power of attorney doesn’t necessarily continue to manage the principal’s affairs after death.

Types of POA

If you are in a situation where you are considering granting power of attorney, you may be wondering what arrangement is most suitable. There are several common types of Power of Attorney designation:

  • General POA
    General POA grants a designated agent the power to make decisions on behalf of the principal for a broad spectrum of matters, including banking transactions, sale or purchase of property, or contractual agreements. This should be used only in specific situations, as it grants extensive control to an agent to act on the principal’s behalf.
  • Durable POA
    Durable Power of Attorney grants power to an agent if the principal becomes mentally incapacitated. This differs from other POAs, as typically, they are structured to end if you are mentally incapacitated. It’s important to note this doesn’t replace a conservator arrangement, as DPOA must be granted while the principal still has full mental faculties and cannot be granted retroactively.
  • Limited or Special POA
    A limited POA allows a principal to grant power of attorney to an agent for use only in specific circumstances, such as cashing checks. Typically this type of POA is only granted for a set period or a particular task.
  • Medical Power of Attorney
    Medical POA allows a principal to designate a specific health care agent to make medical decisions if they are incapacitated. This can include making decisions on medical treatments, surgery, life support, organ donation, and medical records release. An agent with medical POA also ensures a Living Will directive or Do Not Resuscitate order is carried out according to the principal’s wishes.

What happens after the principal’s death?

The validity of an assigned power of attorney expires in the event of the principal’s death. This means a person with POA of any kind can no longer act on behalf of the principal. A power of attorney order also cannot substitute or replace a will.

Once the principal has died, only a designated estate executor can manage the principal’s estate. A person with POA might also be the executor of a will, but it isn’t automatically assigned. Once the principal dies, their last will and testament will guide how their affairs should be handled. If they do not have a will, it falls to the courts to distribute any assets.

How To Choose A Law Firm For Estate Planning

May 19, 2022/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

No one wants to think about estate planning, but it’s a critical part of life. As you grow older, it becomes increasingly important to have a solid plan. A well-drafted plan can ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass and help minimize the tax burden and emotional stress on your loved ones. 

What to look for in a law firm

If you’re looking for a law firm to help you with estate planning, it’s crucial to select one with experience and expertise. When looking for a reputable firm, your local bar association or the Better Business Bureau is a great place to start. They will be able to tell you if there have been any complaints against the law firm. 

Also make sure the firm you choose has experience in estate planning. Not all lawyers specialize in this area of law. Therefore, it is important to find a firm that is well-versed in all aspects of estate planning, including estate and trust administration, litigation, and probate, to ensure they can properly advise you. 

After selecting a law firm, set up a consultation to ensure that you are comfortable with your attorney and feel confident that they can properly provide guidance and represent your interests. 

What to expect during the estate planning process

Estate planning can be complex, but with the help of a knowledgeable lawyer, it doesn’t have to be daunting. The main components can include preparing a Last Will and Testament that outlines who will serve as the executor of your estate and designating your beneficiaries and what they will inherit. This document also outlines how your property and assets will be handled. 

You may also want to set up a Durable Power of Attorney or POA, which allows designated agents – usually family members or close friends – to act on behalf of an incapacitated person if necessary. You can also designate a Healthcare Power of Attorney to authorize an agent to specifically make medical decisions if you cannot communicate your wishes in an emergency. 

You may also want to consider setting up a Living Trust, which allows you to create a trust and transfer assets for your beneficiaries while you’re still alive, or a Living Will, which outlines your directives for how medical treatments should be handled if you are unable to advocate for yourself. 

The importance of estate planning

Every person should consider having an estate plan in place in case something happens and they cannot make decisions for themselves. If you don’t have a plan in place, your loved ones may have to go to court to sort out your affairs. This can be a costly and time-consuming process, so it’s best to take care of this important task ahead of time.  

LPEP can help

There are many firms out there, and it’s essential to choose the right firm for you.

We are ready to help you navigate your unique situation. Call us at 408-553-0801 to schedule a free consultation today.

What You Need to Know About California’s Durable Power of Attorney Law

A durable power of attorney is a legal document that allows an individual to appoint someone else to make decisions on their behalf if they can no longer do so themselves.

However, California has specific criteria for a durable power of attorney to be legally binding. You will want to make sure you understand those requirements so that you or your loved ones won’t find yourselves facing a legal battle.

What is a Power of Attorney?

When creating an estate plan, you will want to appoint someone as your power of attorney. That person will be able to make decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated and unable to do so yourself.

There are several types of powers you can appoint to someone, such as:

  • General power: allows the designated person to act on your behalf in any matters permitted by California law.
  • Limited power: the appointee can only act on your behalf in specific situations spelled out by you.
  • Durable power of attorney (DPOA): controls certain areas designated by the terms of the agreement, even if you become mentally incapacitated.
  • Healthcare power of attorney (HCPA) or healthcare proxy: makes decisions regarding your medical care if you cannot do so.
  • Financial power of attorney: you assign someone to oversee your assets and make payments on your behalf.

Does California Have Any Legal Requirements For Durable Power of Attorney?

California requires certain criteria for a durable power of attorney to hold up in a court of law.

First, both the principal person and the appointee must be legal adults. The person appointed as DPOA can not be affected by the principal’s incapacitation, and the POA does not go into effect until the principal becomes incapacitated.

To be legally binding, a DPOA must be signed by two witnesses (the principal can not be one of the witnesses) or be dated and acknowledged by a notary public.

What Are Some Things to Consider When Choosing an Agent to Act as a DPOA?

There are a few things to consider when choosing an agent under California’s durable power of attorney law. First, you’ll want to choose someone you trust implicitly to make decisions on your behalf. This person will have a great deal of power over your finances, so it’s essential that you select someone responsible and level-headed.

Finally, be sure to discuss your wishes with your agent in advance so they are clear on what you expect from them.
