3 Events You Need to Consider in Your Estate Plan

3 Events You Need to Consider in Your Estate Plan

We’re going to take a look at three often unforeseen events that can threaten to ruin a person’s estate plans. How can you develop a plan that is protected against these potential dangers?

#1 Family Conflict

Sometimes an inheritance can come between even the closest of family members. With that in mind, it is important to be specific about who gets what in your estate planning. You may choose to have an executor or trustee be an unbiased non-family member if you anticipate any possible issues.

#2 Simultaneous Death of Both Mates

If you plan on leaving everything to your surviving mate, you need an alternate plan in place should you both pass away together. This may occur in an accident if the two of you spend a lot of travel time together, so it is best to plan ahead just in case, so tragedy isn’t compounded by confusion over what happens to your estate.

#3 Death in a Foreign Country

If you don’t live in the country where your estate plan was formed, or you intend to travel to another country, it is important to see if anything in your estate plan conflicts with the laws of the other country you will be in. This will help things to go smoothly should you pass away while overseas.
