About
I am frequently requested “Why don’t humans critically plan their estates?” I’ve heard many exclusive reasons over forty years as an Estate and Trust Planning legal professional. The maximum not unusual reason, I agree with, is at one time or any other, we tend to PROCRASTINATE. Why? Because we think that appearing – doing something now – will produce more pain (and value) than not doing something. As I explain to customers, look at estate planning as LIVING PLANNING – just as you'll plan a vacation, retirement or wedding ceremony. In reality, it is your try to use your innovative ideas and your assets to broaden an surroundings (and a plan) for your self and circle of relatives a good way to expand far beyond your existence. It is your possibility to proportion your values, guiding principles, religious ideals together with your circle of relatives and make certain your wealth is left to YOUR loves ones, at the RIGHT time, in the RIGHT way; minimizing management charges and averting dying taxes. Dick has authored many articles on Estate Planning, including book inside the Virginia State Bar’s Trusts and Estates. In addition, Dick is a common speaker earlier than civic, social, and expert businesses. He has co-authored 3 books on Estate and Trust Planning: LEGACY—Plan, Protect and Preserve Your Estate, GENERATIONS—Planning Your Legacy and LOVE, MONEY, CONTROL—Reinventing Estate Planning.
