The process of estate planning can vary greatly from individual to individual and family to family. No two estate plans are the same, or at least, they probably shouldn't be. There are several tools that can be used in estate planning, and which ones should be used by different people vary. In episode 10 of the Second Half of Life podcast, "What's in Your Estate Planning Toolbox?," Attorney Landon Hodges and Long-Term Care Planner Kristin Daugherty take a look at some of these tools that will assist people in planning for their second half of life. Among several items, they discuss which documents everyone needs for estate planning, why a Power of Attorney may not be enough, beneficiary designations, advantages and disadvantages of transferring assets into a trust, special needs planning and ABLE accounts, and why pre-planning for long-term care costs provides the best options.
