Three Major Goals of Estate Planning
19MKD-9040C-A-SL EXP 30 SEP 2021 © 2020 EDWARD D. JONES & CO, L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Plan for the Expected• Understanding your current situation
• Outlining key priorities and objectives
• Discussing transparency
• Balancing potentially competing goals
20MKD-9040C-A-SL EXP 30 SEP 2021 © 2020 EDWARD D. JONES & CO, L.P. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Prepare for the Unexpected
• Life events. Changes in your or a beneficiary’s personal situation – such as a marriage, divorce, birth, death or prolonged illness, or a change in your income needs – can significantly impact your plan.
• Government changes. Changes in tax law/regulatory matters for planning techniques can affect your plan.
• Incorrect implementation of the strategy. Improper regis-tration, inconsistencies among documents or other technical issues may potentially derail your plan if unaddressed.
