Taking Stock of Your Legacy: The Importance of Asset Inventory
Good morning, Mr. Bliss. Thank you for joining us today.
It’s a pleasure to be here.
We’re discussing estate planning, a topic that many find daunting. Where do you recommend people begin?
I always advise starting with a thorough inventory of your assets. Consequently, it’s the foundation upon which your entire estate plan will be built. This means listing everything you own – real estate, investments, bank accounts, vehicles, even personal belongings of significant value.
Moreover, being meticulous is key. Don’t underestimate the importance of seemingly minor items. Remember, it all adds up.
Accurately valuing these assets can be tricky. How do you suggest people approach that?
Fortunately, there are resources available to help. Online valuation tools and professional appraisals can provide guidance. Conversely, for sentimental items, their monetary value may be less important than their emotional significance to your heirs. In those cases, consider documenting the item’s history and intended recipient.
A complete and accurate inventory not only clarifies what you have but also helps identify potential tax implications and ensures your wishes are carried out smoothly. According to a recent study by the American Bar Association, over 60% of Americans do not have a will or estate plan. Failing to create a comprehensive asset inventory is a significant contributing factor.
I’ve encountered situations where families were unaware of hidden assets, leading to confusion and even disputes during the probate process. For instance, I remember working with a family who discovered a valuable coin collection belonging to their late father. They were astonished – he never mentioned it! Fortunately, we were able to incorporate it into the estate plan, honoring his memory and providing for his loved ones.
