Estate Planning and Executor Guide

About the Book

Many people think that if they die without a will and are married, their assets will automatically go to their spouse. But the truth is if you don’t properly plan for the future, your assets could be tied up in probate and given to someone you did not want to get anything. Stephen Paul Tolmie has learned the value of estate planning firsthand, and he identifies key questions to ask yourself, including: What’s your net worth? How do you organize assets? Who do you want to receive assets? What does it mean to be an executor? Who should be your executor? By answering these questions, you’ll be better equipped to make necessary documentation available to your executor and convey your wishes. Workbook pages on planning funeral arrangements, creating a living will, and crafting an enduring power of attorney are provided – and you’ll also get fact sheets with important phone numbers and general information as well as sample letters to get benefits. Instead of worrying about the future, take steps to make it better for yourself and your loved ones with the Estate Planning and Executor Guide.
