Collins A: ESTATE PLANNING BLUEPRINT

ESTATE PLANNING BLUEPRINT

The Modern Guide to Estate Planning, Living Trusts, Wills and Protecting Your Family's Future

Estate planning, in plain English Get the need-to-know basics about wills, trusts, avoiding probate, and planning for incapacity with Estate Planning Basics. This book lays out your options in plain English, guiding you to the right estate plan for you and your family. Learn how to: <ul> <li>make a will or living trust</li> <li>name a guardian for your children</li> <li>avoid probate</li> <li>choose an executor</li> <li>use durable powers of attorney, and</li> <li>prepare a health care directive.</li> </ul> The 13th edition is completely updated to reflect the latest information about estate planning.

Estate Planning Basics

Decoding the Hidden Architecture of Target-Date Funds

The Retirement Black Box

If you want to know more about living trusts, this book is here to help. Make Your Living Trust gives you straightforward and easy-to-understand information about how living trusts: <ul> <li>compare to wills</li> <li>pass property to beneficiaries without probate</li> <li>provide for minor children, and</li> <li>help protect against unexpected incapacity.</li> </ul> You might have heard about living trusts and have a general sense that you should make one. But if you're like most people, you're not exactly sure why or how to do it. If this sounds like you, Make Your Living Trust provides the information and support you need to make informed estate planning decisions. For many people, living trusts are a useful tool to keep their property out of probate. This makes a lot of sense because probate often makes the process of wrapping up an estate more complicated and expensive than it needs to be. And there are other reasons to make a living trust -- a living trust allows you to authorize someone to take care of your property in case of incapacity, and (unlike wills) living trusts keep your personal business private. That said, not everyone needs a living trust. Many people need only a will and a durable power of attorney. Others might use those in conjunction with pay-on-death accounts or transfer-on-death deeds. Compared to other estate planning tools, living trusts can be more expensive to create and more complicated to live with. So, you don't want to go through the trouble and expense of making one if you don't need to. Make Your Living Trust helps you think through these and many other trust-related issues. For example, it helps you weigh the pros and cons of making a living trust yourself versus having an attorney draw one up. It also covers questions that might come up as you make a living trust (with or without a lawyer), like: <ul> <li>What types of property work well in a living trust?</li> <li>Can you and your spouse make a living trust together?</li> <li>What is the role of a successor trustee?</li> <li>Who decides when minor children receive their inheritance?</li> <li>How do you transfer property into your living trust?</li> <li>What makes a living trust legal?</li> <li>Where should you store your living trust?</li> <li>Do you have to register your trust or share it with your family?</li> <li>What other estate planning documents might you need?</li> </ul> Make Your Living Trust can help with all of this and more. It will be your steady companion as you learn about wills and trusts and start to craft your estate plan.

Global population aging is transforming how societies think about longevity, health, work, and financial security. As people live longer, responsibility for retirement is increasingly shifting to individuals and households, and the risks and rewards of longer lives are being reshaped in profound ways. 

The Future of Healthy Aging and Successful Retirement explores what these changes mean for healthy aging and successful retirement in the decades ahead. Surya Kolluri, Olivia S. Mitchell, and Nikolai Roussanov bring together leading experts from economics, public policy, and health sciences to examine how health, wealth, and work interact over the life-course. Contributors address a wide range of issues, including changing mortality patterns and healthspan, cognitive aging and financial decision-making, retirement income and pension design, healthcare and long-term care costs, caregiving, and the evolving role of older workers in a technology-driven economy. Across countries and institutional settings, the book highlights how individuals, employers, and policymakers shape outcomes at older ages. It also draws attention to widening inequalities in later life, particularly as lower- and middle-income households face growing uncertainty in preparing for retirement.

By combining new evidence with forward-looking perspectives, this volume offers a clear and accessible framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities of aging societies--and for promoting longer, healthier, and more secure retirements.
