Proverbs 15:22 says "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."   This week, Tovah Mitchell, elder law and estate planning attorney, joins Hans and Robby as an adviser to help you succeed in finishing well. She covers everything from power of attorneys to stock certificates and taxes.    

 

Estate planning is for everyone. Once you turn 18, you're an adult. Your parents cannot help you unless you have the documents in place. Tovah does say it is important to remember that estate plans do not just involve legal documents though, you have to consider what life insurance you have, your IRA holdings, you Social Security benefit, and so much more. This is why it is so advantageous to have a financial planner and attorney who can work together to come up with a complete plan for finishing well.  

 

Do you know which document is the most important legal document? Tovah says it is the Financial Power of Attorney, or Durable Power of Attorney. This makes sure that someone you trust can take care of your finances when you cannot. A Healthcare Power of Attorney is another important document everyone needs to have in place.If you go to the hospital, it allows someone to advocate for you to make sure you receive the care that you want. But how do you pick the person or persons to designate? Tovah goes over the advice she gives her clients.  

 

You also need a HIPAA release as well as a Last Will and Testament. Make sure to review and update these on a regular basis. At Cardinal, when new clients come in, Hans makes sure to look through their legal documents to make sure everything is correct, especially if they have recently moved, been married or divorced, or a close family member has passed away.  

 

Lastly, Hans and Tovah discuss clients that they had to work on together, which involves how estates handle stock certificates as well as what can go wrong with your estate if you do not pay your taxes properly.

And I'm not were not part you were invented to take that risk really solve problems for people with all kinds of clients that we run into or maybe were talking to him about Medicare once you start investing their stuff in your text and then when you dig deeper changes in the legal stuff.

So, having Tova right here and available to serve people is just one example of this talk a little bit about Lori, how she came to us she really came to her friends as slaves yet intimate.

This lady's house was a horror as she changes her described. I case but this place to stop the mess she could put her hands on her money.

You know all about you are core problems. As she put $200,000 from a Roth IRA goal is gold coins she got in a bad place. So we started out right away trying to help recoup this money that dentist, we ended up hundred $85,000 investment gold coins weeded out. 25,000 back gold coins she sold Ashley in the still unexplained loss. We were glad to get the hundred ¥25 is through a whole bunch of Mr. stuff started digging through the war from her deceased husband had we found stock certificates, looking top is not on the way her making her fine list is where I care not me. She said she was about ready to see that one. I like the last record but you are me and is not IRA and you know is it hurting his transfer on death as beneficiary is so when she dies. Her children are just to get this money weeks and weeks and on the insurance products so the Vermonter pierces his transfer issues all planned out is not dependent on some software installed on the computers were sent out here we got you right here so she passed away this past part of the equation when you're trying to figure out.

You gotta get back work often in others, such as toddlers, so Lori's season is file taxes 13, 15, not force.

Just this 1315 die 16 so you file 16, 17 or 18, and she did so now we have CPA Tova straightened out that so just just fair for your life is years I had my years there.
