6 Important Estate Planning Considerations – Part 3: Your Kids

One of the many tremendous benefits of our membership in the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys is having a nationwide “brain-trust” filled with talented and knowledgeable attorneys. Director of Education Steve Hartnett is no exception. Part-one of his six-part series on important Estate Planning considerations talks about incapacity. Part two talks about the high cost of long-term-care, which we also detail in this blog. The third installment looks at the way your beneficiaries receive their inheritances and why different approaches need to be used for different people. It is critical that you consider the individual needs of your children or other beneficiaries when preparing your estate plan.
