There are four ways to transfer assets to your loved ones: joint ownership, sole ownership, sole ownership with beneficiary designations, and via a trust. Depending on your situation, you could use one or more of these methods. It is vitally important, however, that you treat the four methods as related elements in an overarching estate plan.
Jeff takes you through the proper use cases and tax implications of each wealth transfer method. He issues a reminder that family members with special needs require unique consideration within the overall estate plan. And, he encourages you to review your legal and financial arrangements to ensure that they are well coordinated and aligned with your long-term goals.

Jeff reflects on his many years as an attorney and shares the advice he would give himself as a young lawyer. As it turns out, his advice consists of universal truths: think differently; keep learning and growing; be clear, consistent, and honest in your communications; accept that people need to make their own decisions in their own time; nurture and value your relationships; and, most of all, cherish your loved ones and tell them how you feel.
