Estate Planning Information

It is about more than just having a will that would state who the deceased person wanted to take their possessions. Estate planning would involve what I call a “life plan” as well, meaning how the person would hold assets while they were still alive. It includes what would happen if they were to get sued. For example, if they owned everything outright, then people could come and take what they owned.

However, if some estate planning or asset protection work had been done, then companies, trusts or other entities could be created that would own or hold those assets. The person would get to use them. They just would not own them anymore. Either a company or a trust would own them.

These layers of protection could be created so that if, for some reason, somebody decided to sue the person and their insurance was not enough or perhaps they did not have any coverage, then at least the person would not lose their possessions or anything else that had been put in trust. This would just be one aspect of it.
The other aspect would address the situation in case a tragedy occurred. For example, if a person had a stroke or a heart attack, and were still alive but no longer competent to take care of their own affairs, a power of attorney would be used.

A financial power of attorney would allow someone else to sign checks off on the person’s bank accounts so they could pay bills. This would prevent the person losing their home in a foreclosure because they were unable to pay their mortgage.
A healthcare power of attorney would allow the designated person to make medical decisions for the incapacitated person since they would not be able to make those decisions on their own.

People would generally have to do life planning as well as an estate plan.

Goals

When you set a goal, you program it into the subconscious; then the subconscious takes on a power of its own and starts moving you rapidly toward its goal.

LawyerDivorceUtah.com 801-676-5506 – Why are Divorce Laws Against Men?

I was asked this week, why are the divorce laws against men? Under Utah law, there is a presumption of equality for me and women under the law. In fact, under Utah law, there is a presumption that parents share joint legal custody of their minor children. My experience as an attorney is that there is no prejudice against men or women. Facts play a role in each case. If you have questions about your case, please contact us for a free initial consultation 801-676-5506. Hope you enjoy the video.
