Your Estate, but whose plan?
1. Without proper estate planning, your assets will be handled according to state law, no matter what you intend. In many cases, court involvement will be necessary.
2. If you plan now, your wishes and intentions will be honored.

The Best Plan for Most of Us
1. Living Trust
2. Pour Over Will
3. Power of Attorney
4. Advance Health Care Directive
![Page 20: What is Estate Planning? By Uemura](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54ba09d14a795983738b4599/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Living Trust• Trust: Legal document containing your
instructions regarding your own assets.
• Trustee: You are the trustee until you are unable. You choose who will manage your assets if you are unable.
• Beneficiaries: You choose who will inherit after you have passed away. You decide who will inherit, what they will inherit, and when they will inherit.
![Page 21: What is Estate Planning? By Uemura](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54ba09d14a795983738b4599/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Without a Living Trust – Example: Real Estate
• Joe Sato and Mary Sato, Husband and Wife as joint tenants with right of survivorship.
• Joe dies first – who becomes the owner? How?
• Then Mary dies – who becomes the owner? How?
![Page 22: What is Estate Planning? By Uemura](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54ba09d14a795983738b4599/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
With a Living Trust – Real Estate
• Transfer to Joe Sato and Mary Sato, Trustees of the Sato Family Trust.
• Joe dies first – who becomes the owner? How?
• Then Mary dies – who becomes the owner?
• Provides for incapacity.

Pour Over WillJust One Part of Complete Estate Plan• Back up plan for assets not in the living trust.
• Requires probate to be effective.
• In most cases, will not be needed.
• Nominate guardians for your minor children.
![Page 24: What is Estate Planning? By Uemura](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54ba09d14a795983738b4599/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stand Alone WillIs NOT a Complete Estate Plan
You decide who will inherit.
BUT, the Will requires probate to be effective.
Will does not help you if you are incapacitated.
![Page 25: What is Estate Planning? By Uemura](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54ba09d14a795983738b4599/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The process is not complicated.
