Second Season of Second Half of Life Podcast Begins With Episode on How to Beat Death & Taxes
The only certainties in life are death and taxes. Everyone has heard that saying and it is largely true. While none of us can avoid either, there are ways to reduce your tax burden - both in life and death - and most importantly, have your wishes fulfilled after you pass with respect to your estate. In this respect, while you can't avoid them, you can certainly beat them. How to do so is discussed in the first episode of the second season of the Second Half of Life Podcast. In this episode, Attorney Brittany Smith and Long-Term Care Planner Tammy Zilske give tips for effective estate administration, so that you can allow a difficult time for your family to be made easier while ensuring that appropriate decisions are made on final distribution of your estate. Among the topics discussed are understanding the probate process, guidelines and time frames, rules governing state and federal estate inheritance and estate taxes, the importance of naming trusted beneficiaries, legal documents that protect a spouse after the other spouse passes, and much more.
