If I’m Not Wealthy, Do I Need an Estate Plan?
Tumblr media
Even if you are not a celebrity or self-made millionaire, failing to plan properly will leave a huge mess for your family.
Some ways to make sure that your family is not scrambling to find assets upon your passing or spending thousands of dollars in court and attorney fees to transfer those assets to your beneficiaries are:
1.  Make sure you at least have a simple Will. 2.  Determine if a Living Trust is good for you. 3.  Title your Assets Properly. 4.  Keep an Updated Asset Inventory.
Coming up with the right integrated estate plan is the best way to build, protect and preserve your legacy. By using Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, you can come up with a plan tailored to your needs. At the Las Vegas Law Firm of JEFFREY BURR, we are available to help you understand all of your legal options while guiding you through the entire process. For more than 35 years, our Estate Planning Attorneys team has offered customized solutions to individuals and families throughout Las Vegas & Henderson, Nevada.

VALIDATING AN ESTATE PLAN | Estate Planning Attorney Henderson NV
Las Vegas Estate Planning LawyerLeaving an estate plan can provide peace of mind that a person's wishes will be respected and carried out when they are no longer around to care for and provide for their loved ones.  Indeed, many estate plans are implemented just as flawlessly as the person who created it intended.  There are, however, no shortage of estate plans that become tied up in lengthy and costly litigation as a result of will or trust contest actions alleging that the testator either did not have capacity to execute the estate plan or was unduly influenced by another person in making the estate plan.  In these instances, the challenges have historically been made after the testator has already passed away.  This is due to the fact that the laws of most states employ purely post-death probate procedures, which only allow the testator's mental capacity to be considered after death.  The inherent flaw then becomes that the person best suited to confirm his or her testamentary wishes is no longer alive to consult about it.
North Dakota, Ohio, Arkansas and Alaska have enacted pre-death or “ante-mortem” probate laws that authorize some form of lifetime will validation. These laws permit testators to proactively seek a court declaration as to the validity of their wills during their lifetimes, thereby reducing the likelihood of a will contest after their death.  With the exception of Alaska these laws have been in existence for some time, having had the most frequent use in Ohio while getting little to no use in North Dakota and Arkansas.  Alaska sparked a reemergence of interest in pre-death probate legislation in 2010 when it adopted a broader version of the ante-mortem probate statute.  In addition to wills, the Alaska statute authorizes the court to declare the validity of trusts during the lifetime of the trustor.  The validation proceedings may either be initiated by the testator or any interested person with the testator’s consent.  Incidentally, Alaska will entertain pre-death probate proceedings even when the testator resides in another state or has no connection to Alaska.  In 2011, the Nevada legislature considered similar ante-mortem probate legislature, but it failed to pass.
Whether Nevada and the other currently “post-mortem” probate states will ultimately enact pre-death probate legislation remains to be seen.  In such states, there continue to be a range of methods that may be invoked when setting up the estate plan to lessen the potential for a will or trust contest later.  Included in these methods are: self-proving wills, no-contest or "in terrorem" clauses, and videotaped execution ceremonies, to name a few.   Individuals who are concerned that a will or trust contest might interfere with his or her carefully crafted estate plan should speak candidly to the attorney about the options available to safeguard it from unwanted attacks.

Introducing the Passport Trust | Estate Planning Attorney Henderson NV
Clients that come into our office looking for asset protection in the form of a domestic asset protection trust (“DAPT”) often ask us what additional protections an offshore trust could offer them.  Some of those additional protections include a shorter statute of limitations for creditors to attack assets after the assets have been transferred into the trust, a higher standard of proof that creditors must meet to undo a transfer into an offshore trust, and the fact that the creditor must go to the foreign jurisdiction to pursue their claims.  After reviewing these benefits, many clients are anxious to set up an offshore trust, but that excitement wanes considerably when the fees for setting up an offshore trust are discussed, as well as the formalities and complexities that must be adhered to in order to obtain those extra protections.
To obtain those protections for our clients, but reduce the upfront costs in setting up an offshore trust and avoid some of the more stringent formalities of an offshore trust, our firm has created the Passport Trust ™.  The Passport Trust ™ is an asset protection vehicle that combines the flexibility and simplicity of a domestic asset protection trust (DAPT) with the advantages of an offshore jurisdiction’s additional protections against creditors, if the need arises.
A Passport Trust ™ includes “passport” provisions in the trust agreement that enable a DAPT to be redomiciled in a foreign non-US jurisdiction such as Nevis or the Cook Islands if there is ever a distress event.  Typically there will be no new waiting period for creditor claims in the new jurisdiction – the original transfer date of assets into the DAPT will be used as the transfer date for purposes of the foreign jurisdiction’s rules regarding creditor claims.
Passport Trusts ™ lower the entry cost to obtain the additional protection an offshore jurisdiction can provide by allowing you to begin with a NOST and ‘start the clock’ on the waiting period for protection from creditor claims and later convert to an offshore trust, if necessary, for the best of both worlds.
The Passport Trust™ begins as a DAPT with all the protections that Nevada’s self-settled spendthrift law provides, but includes a special passport provision that enables the Trustee to move the trust’s domicile to a foreign jurisdiction.  In conjunction with this passport provision, application will be made to a foreign trust company upon the creation of the DAPT to pre-approve the DAPT for re-domiciliation.  The foreign trust company shares in the due diligence regarding the creation of the trust.  As a result of their early involvement, the foreign trust company agrees to serve as a special trustee, dormant and waiting with ‘open arms’ to receive the trust assets if a distress event occurs.
To find out more about the “Passport Trust” and how it might be a part of your integrated estate plan, please contact our office.
At the Las Vegas, NV Law Firm of Jeffrey Burr, we represent clients throughout Southern Nevada, including Overton, Logandale, Mountain's Edge, Henderson, Aliante, Boulder City, North Las Vegas, Mesquite, Pahrump, Summerlin, Southern Highlands, Green Valley, Laughlin, Clark County, Nye County and Lincoln County.
