New parents, the elderly, or people with health problems....while these people should certainly have wills to make sure their wishes are followed, they aren’t the only ones. Wills are essential documents for all adults, and they are relatively inexpensive to draft. Making decisions about the fate of your assets is important. But putting those wishes into a comprehensive will can be quite simple when you hire Bradford Miller Law, P.C.

Annual gifts
Let that rich Uncle or Aunt you know that they can give you up to $11,000 a year via a gift. The federal gift tax laws allow a person to make an unlimited number of gifts of up to 11,000 per year and these gifts do not reduce the unified credit of the person making the gift.

Famous people who made the mistakes with estate planning
Celebrity: Jimi Hendrix
Mistake: Never writing a will.
Story: Music legend Jimi Hendrix died at age 27 in 1970 without a will. Under state law, his dad, Al, got everything, leaving his close brother Leon with nothing. Al built Hendrix's musical legacy into an $80 million venture, but in his own will cut out Leon and his family, in favor of his adopted daughter through a later marriage.
Lesson: Even young rock stars aren't immortal. Sign a will or living trust document.
Celebrity: Marlon Brando
Mistake: Making oral promises.
Story: Angela Borlaza, actor Brando's "major domo," claimed Brando gave her the house she lived in, saying he had kept it in his name for tax reasons. She settled with the executors of his estate for $125,000. She also claimed Brando promised her continued employment with a company he owned, and settled that claim out of court.
Lesson: Oral promises won't do; if you're serious, execute the right written documents.
Celebrity: Ted Williams
Mistake: Conflicting directions on burial wishes.
Story: In his will, baseball legend Ted Williams said he wished to be cremated. But his two children from a second marriage produced a grease-stained note saying he wished to be put in biostasis after his death, and they froze his body after his death in 2002. His eldest daughter fought to have his body unfrozen and cremated, but gave up the fight when she ran out of money.
Lesson: If you change your mind about your burial wishes, change your will by adding a codicil, or writing a new one.
There are many, many more stories. No matter what your situation is, you need to think about estate planning. Call my office for a free consultation.
