1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: A state plan very big. Yes, when we talk about 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: wills and we talk about putting beneficiaries, doing things, things 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: of that nature. What are some things that life insurance 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: stuff like that. What are some things that people need 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: to be aware when developing their estate plan. 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: So when it comes to your state plan, I want 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: you to think about a will, potentially a trust and beneficiaries. 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 2: Those are like the core components. So a will is 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: like the bare bones. You don't necessarily if you're twenty 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: five years old, you ain't got no kids, you've got nothing, 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 2: you don't necessarily need a will. Right, Well, let's start 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: even before that beneficiaries. Right, So, no matter what, even 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: if you are twenty one years old, you got a 14 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: bank account, you got in the state, you got life 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: insurance you have in the state. You know, So put 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 2: your mama, your cousin, your best friend, your sister, your 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: brother as a beneficiary on your bank account, on your 18 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 2: life insurance policy if you have one. That way, if 19 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: something should happen to you, that is what a state 20 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: planning looks like when you really don't have much, but 21 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: it's still something, But you don't want to be mindful 22 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: because if someone is a beneficiary on your on your 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: bank account. Let's just say you put them on when 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: you're twenty five, your sister, and then at thirty five 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: you got kids and a and a significant other, like 26 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: and you have a will and all other stuff, but 27 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 2: you never updated that form. If something should happen to you, 28 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: what's on your beneficiaries form trumps everything else. It doesn't 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: matter what's in your will or your or your trust. 30 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: So that's really important. I remember, like, so my my 31 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: husband when I met him, he had a daughter already 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: she was seven, so he and her mother were together, 33 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: and he had he has like he works for the city, 34 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: so he has a pension. So the other day he 35 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: was like, Babe, my friend is trying to figure out 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: how to change his beneficiaries on his pension. And I 37 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: was like, all right, well you know, let's update. Well, 38 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: let me show you how to log in because I 39 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: do all of my financial stuff. So we log in 40 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: change the beneficiaries and I'm like, hold up, and I'll say, 41 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: tiffany on here. It's said baby momm's on here. Now. 42 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. Even baby and baby Mouse is 43 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: really cool, but not that cool. 44 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: Bruh. 45 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: You what if you would have died and left your 46 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: paton to her, I would have had to raise you 47 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: up from the dead, kill you back dead again. So 48 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: but I just say all that to say that, like, 49 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: it's so, it's so important to make sure those forms 50 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: are up to date. So then next level will if 51 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: you have children, you have to have a will. Who 52 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: do you want to raise your children. It's not enough 53 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: to be like, oh that's my that's my godmother. No no, no, no, no. 54 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: Legally you have to assign because you know, you. 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Know us the conversation. 56 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: Yes, like, oh that's so that's your gradma. If something 57 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: happened to me, No, no, no, no, and this is 58 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: all we might been gigging with money, and so yes, 59 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: you want to make sure that you have you know, 60 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: like you legally have some papers drawn up to say 61 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: this is what happens to my minor children and I'm 62 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: not here because let's just say you're Muslim, right, and 63 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: your your parents a Christian, and you really don't want 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: your parents to raise your kids or your sister raise 65 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 2: your kids because you want your kids to be raising 66 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: a Muslim household. So you really want your brother, you know, 67 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: but if you want that to happen you have to 68 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: put that down. So a will is bare bones. But 69 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 2: a will is not going to save you from probate court. 70 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: You know you are still going to pay them tax 71 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: on tax on tax on taxes. 72 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 3: Right. 73 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: But I will say this, if you have a trust 74 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: is not for someone I would even consider a trust 75 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: because of the cost unless you have at least one 76 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in assets, right, because twenty thousand it 77 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense for the cost of a trust. Now, 78 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: if you have assets to five hundred thousand or over, 79 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: you must have a trust because the amount of money 80 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: you're going to lose in probate court plus probaate court 81 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: is embarrassing. It's like ringside teeths to like, oh how 82 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: much eating got Oh? Okay, oh exactly, you. 83 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Know what I mean. 84 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: And so that part is important. 85 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: So a trust. 86 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: What makes a trust so special is that a trust 87 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: locks things away behind closed doors, so no one can 88 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 2: see unless you decide to share, unlike a will where 89 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: everybody can see. But also trust is like a person 90 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: that never dies. When money goes passes from one person 91 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: to another person because of death, there's a tax involved. 92 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 2: But a trust, it's like this person that doesn't die. 93 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: So money, if it's held or your assets are held there. 94 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: Even if you pass, the trust stays alive. Even if 95 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: someone else passes, the trust stays alive. So you don't 96 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: have to worry about the tax incurred going from person 97 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: to person. But you want to be mindful. What kind 98 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: of trust do you want to have? An irrevocable trust 99 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 2: or a vocable trust, And irrevocable means that it cannot 100 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: be broken or changed unless everyone who's involved in the 101 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: trust says okay, right. So, for example, Kobe Bryant had 102 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: an irrevocable trust right So the problem was that he 103 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 2: so he and his wife every when their children turned one, 104 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: they added that child to the trust. But we all 105 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: know he passed away when his baby was still younger 106 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: than one, so she was not in that trust all 107 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: of that wealth he had set aside. So she had 108 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 2: to petition the courts to say, I know this is irrevocable, 109 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: but let's be real, coll we would not want the 110 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: baby not to be in here. So they granted her that. 111 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: So you just want to be mindful. You know, what 112 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: kind of trust do you want to happen? At state planning, 113 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: we tend not to do it, but it's actually more 114 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: expensive not to you know, like it just is. So 115 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: if you if you have just a little bit of something, 116 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 2: you want to put something down, you want to get 117 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: it notarized, and you want to fund it and sign it. 118 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: So if something happens to you, everybody knows what your 119 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: desires are. 120 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: Don't like Prince and then prevents all the fight in 121 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: the three passes. I just want to I just want 122 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: to add one thing to that because everything you said 123 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: was right on point, and me as a financial advisor, 124 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: one of the things when I first came into the 125 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: industry is this guy, uh well, they was speaking and 126 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: they was talking about a guy that worked the job 127 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: for like thirty years, had like a big pension and 128 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: all of that, and you know, he got divorced like 129 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: twenty years ago and had a new wife and you know, 130 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: had like three kids and all that. And when he died, 131 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: he never updated his beneficiary. And like you said, the 132 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: beneficiary supersedes everything and it's no negotiation, nothing you can 133 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: do about it. So it went that it went to 134 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: his ex wife and she kept it. 135 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: She didn't have to give it up. 136 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you have to you have to update your beneficiary, 137 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: and everything should have a beneficiary, including bank accounts. And 138 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: then also what you speak about as far as the 139 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: trust is extremely important. The Airvocable trust we spoke about 140 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: the hospital about the island before, which is the Airvocable 141 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: Life Insurance Trust. And I love how you say a 142 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: trust is a person that can die, because that's really true. 143 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: It's treated like an outside entity as a person. So, 144 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, especially when we have more advanced conversations about 145 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: tax shelter because life insurance can actually add to in a 146 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: state planning problem because the money goes into your state. 147 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: So if your state is worth three million dollars and 148 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: you have a two million dollar life insurance policy, now 149 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: when you die, you're actually a state is worth five 150 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: million dollars. So that can actually be counterproductive because it's 151 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: going to add to your tax bills. So that's why 152 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: people sometimes people will put the life insurance in a 153 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: trust because now that two million is not part is 154 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: not part of the estate's out of the estate, and 155 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: it still goes to the beneficiary tax free because of 156 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: the life insurance to tax free. So yeah, everything that 157 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: you speak about is extremely important, and like you said, 158 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: it's not something unfortunately that we have really thought about 159 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: a lot. It's like, yeah, most of the time, it's 160 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: just like, all right, figure it out when you die. 161 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: And then you know that leads to all kinds of issues, 162 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: and as you said, it's actually more expensive not to 163 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: have it mentally and financially because mentally, you know, family 164 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: members gotta fight. Breaks up families all the time. It's 165 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: pretty common. You know, your grandmother has a house and 166 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: then there's like four kids and they're fighting over the house. 167 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: So all of this stuff.
