There are several documents which comprise a complete estate plan. **Content:** When people create an [estate plan](/estate-planning-wills-and-trusts/), they do so with the intention that it will express their wishes for the disposition of their assets at death. There are several documents that comprise a complete estate plan. Below are two mistakes that may result in unintended consequences with your estate plan documents: ## 1. Failure To Fund A Revocable Living Trust The creation of a Revocable Living Trust can offer great benefits, but it will be wholly ineffective if it is not properly funded during the lifetime of the creator (commonly referred to as the “grantor” or the “settlor”). Creating a Revocable Trust document does not complete the estate planning process. There is yet more business to be done to ensure that the Revocable Trust performs as designed and intended. The title on certain assets must be changed from the individual’s sole name into the name of the Revocable Trust. A few common examples include: - Preparing and recording a new Deed transferring title of the real property to the name of the Revocable Trust - Transferring title on financial accounts (bank accounts or investment/brokerage accounts) from an individual’s sole name to the name of the Revocable Trust It is important to note that retirement assets, such as IRAs, must be owned by an individual and therefore, cannot be re-titled to the name of a Revocable Trust. When individuals re-title their assets into the name of the Revocable Trust the assets will pass to the Trust’s beneficiaries, outside the probate process. If a Revocable Trust was not properly funded and does not own any assets, then the assets of the decedent will not pass directly from the Revocable Trust to the beneficiaries without additional steps being required. ## 2. Failing To Update Your Estate Plan Unfortunately, the mere creation of estate planning documents does not in and of itself reflect a complete estate plan. Individuals should fully implement all aspects of the estate plan, review it on a regular basis, communicate with their estate planning attorney to keep him or her up to date so that changes can be made to the documents if necessary. Failing to review and update estate planning documents at regular intervals may result in unintended consequences and thereby diminish the value of the estate plan. It is helpful to think of your estate planning documents as items which grow and change as your life does. When there is a major change in life, such as a marriage, divorce, birth or death of a beneficiary, individuals should update their estate plan by speaking with their estate planning attorney. It is recommended that a client consider updating their estate plan every 3-5 years, depending on circumstances in his or her life. It is important to also ensure that your named attorneys-in-fact under your Financial Power of Attorney and your health care agents under your Health Care Power of Attorney are still ready, willing, and able to perform in said capacities. Engaging in a conversation with the individuals you wish to name to serve in these capacities can minimize the possibility of any of those individuals being unaware of their appointment as your agent and potentially unwilling to perform in such capacity on your behalf. Ready to get started? [Contacting an estate planning attorney](/contact/) who can offer guidance and help you tailor an estate plan for your specific situation is a good first step. **Categories:** Blog, Estate Planning --- ### [What do I do when a loved one dies?](https://klgestatelaw.com/what-do-i-do-when-a-loved-one-dies/) **Published:** June 9, 2021 **Author:** klglawdev **Excerpt:** When your loved one passes away, you and your family have both large and small issues to worry about – all while grieving your loss. A big issue likely involves determining how his or her assets will be distributed. **Content:** When your loved one passes away, you and your family have both large and small issues to worry about – all while grieving your loss. A big issue likely involves determining how his or her assets will be distributed. If the person who died (known as the “decedent”) left a Last Will and Testament validly executed according to State law, it will give you guidance regarding the disposition of his or her assets. If the decedent died without a Will, you will need to follow the statutory scheme laid out in [Maryland’s intestacy laws](https://govt.westlaw.com/mdc/Document/N434E4430B72011E9BFBAADC283C50917?viewType=FullText&originationContext=documenttoc&transitionType=CategoryPageItem&contextData=(sc.Default)). Additionally, a decedent may create other estate planning documents such as an Irrevocable or a Revocable Trust which would provide for the distribution of the decedent’s assets thereby minimizing or avoiding probate altogether. ## What are probate assets? Your first step is to do some research into the decedent’s assets and divide those assets into two groups: probate assets and non-probate assets. ## Probate assets These assets are titled to the decedent’s sole name and do not pass automatically to someone else at death. Examples include a traditional bank account with no other name associated with the account, or real estate titled solely in the decedent’s name. These assets must go through probate before they can be distributed to an individual or charitable organization named in the Will or to heirs under the intestacy laws, whichever is applicable. ## Non-probate assets These assets automatically pass by operation of law directly to another individual upon the decedent’s death. This may occur through joint ownership of the asset where there is a surviving owner and, a financial account which bears a valid beneficiary designation. Examples include a retirement account with a named beneficiary, or a house owned as Tenants by the Entirety with a surviving spouse or as joint tenants with rights of survivorship with a spouse or another individual. Assets held in an Irrevocable or Revocable Trust are also examples of non-probate assets. Once you gain a thorough understanding which types of assets (probate and/or non-probate) are owned by the decedent, you can determine whether the probate process is necessary. ## Do I need to go through probate? Not every Estate needs to go through [the probate process](https://registers.maryland.gov/main/publications/infoguide.html). You will need to initiate a probate proceeding to administer property that is tilted solely in the decedent’s name (without a valid beneficiary designation). Maryland Law provides that, if the gross value of the probate property is equal to or less than $50,000, a Small Estate probate administration proceeding will be sufficient. If the gross value of the probate property is equal to or less than $100,000 and The decedent’s surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary and/or heir of the probate property then a Small Estate probate proceeding will be sufficient. If the gross value of the probate property exceeds either of these filing thresholds, then, a Regular Estate probate administration proceeding in the Orphans’ Court is required. ## How do I get started? If you have possession of the original Last Will and Testament, you need to submit the Last Will and Testament to the Register of Wills Office in the County in which the decedent was domiciled. If you are the person named in the Will to act as the Estate’s Personal Representative, the Orphans’ Court will require certain probate paperwork be filed by you or on your behalf before it will authorize you to act on behalf of the Estate. Although Maryland does not require you to hire an estate/[probate attorney](/estate-and-trust-administration/) in order to file a probate administration proceeding with the Court, you may find one necessary. You will need to complete many steps as the Personal Representative, and some of them are complicated and time-consuming. Some people are surprised to find that the full probate administration proceeding can take a year or more to complete, even with the assistance of a trained estate/probate attorney. Pursuing a probate administration proceeding without an attorney can significantly increase that amount of time. The Estate usually covers the cost of attorney fees if there are sufficient Estate assets to do so. **Categories:** Blog, Wills --- ### [The Basics of Contesting a Last Will and Testament in Maryland](https://klgestatelaw.com/the-basics-of-contesting-a-last-will-and-testament-in-maryland/) **Published:** August 9, 2023 **Author:** klglawdev **Content:** The most common type of estate planning document – and the one most people are likely familiar – is a Last Will and Testament. A Will is incredibly valuable; it can clearly and distinctly outline a person’s specific wishes for the disposition of assets. However, there are certain situations in which a Will might be challenged. In the State of Maryland, this is known formally as a “Caveat proceeding.” Such a proceeding is brought before the Orphans’ Court in the county in which the decedent was domiciled at death. An Interested Person could argue that a Will or Codicil is invalid because of a lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, forgery, or the presence of a newer, superseding Will. ## Who can contest a Will? Maryland law provides that only an “Interested Person” has standing to challenge a Will or Codicil. An Interested Person is someone who is either named as a beneficiary/legatee in a Will, or a person who would otherwise inherit if the decedent had died without a valid Will. Generally, Interested Persons include: - Spouses - Children - Heirs - Devisees - Creditors In broader terms, an individual eligible to file a Caveat proceeding is either someone named in a prior Will, someone named in a subsequent Will, or someone who would inherit if there were no Will at all. ## What is an “in terrorem” clause? Some people choose to include a provision in their Wills (or execute a Codicil later) to discourage an Interested Person from challenging the terms of the Will. In Maryland, this is known as an “in terrorem” clause. (Other states refer to it as a “no-contest” clause.) These provisions may effectively disinherit someone who brings an unsuccessful challenge. Such a “take it or leave it” proposition is often enough to prevent a contest. Not all “in terrorem” clauses are enforceable. An experienced [estate planning attorney](/estate-planning-wills-and-trusts/) can offer advice on whether one should include this provision in a well-drafted Last Will and Testament . It’s important to note that there are other ways to draft a Will to minimize the potential for challenges and family in-fighting without the need for a specific provision. **Categories:** Blog, Wills --- ### [What to do with Stimulus Checks paid to Deceased Individuals?](https://klgestatelaw.com/what-to-do-with-stimulus-checks-paid-to-deceased-individuals/) **Published:** May 11, 2020 **Author:** klglawdev **Content:** As millions of Americans begin receiving their Economic Impact Payments (or “stimulus payments”) authorized by The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, many of our clients are asking this question: **What should they do if they receive a stimulus payment issued to a deceased family member?** While the IRS did not initially address this contingency when it began distributing stimulus payments based on 2018 and 2019 tax return information, recent guidelines have been published on the IRS’s website directing that such payments be returned, and providing instructions on the return process. ![Stimulus Relief](https://klgestatelaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Picture1-1024x591.jpg "Picture1 - Kuwamura Law Group, PA - Kuwamura Law Group, PA") According to the guidelines, which can be found on the IRS’s online “[Economic Impact Payment Information Center](https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center "Find IRS Stimulus Check guidelines at the Economic Impact Payment Information Center"),” a payment issued to an individual who has passed away should be returned, with one exception. If the payment was issued to joint filers and one spouse passed away before receipt of the payment, then the surviving spouse can keep his or her portion of the payment and return only the portion paid to the deceased spouse. Instructions on how to calculate a deceased spouse’s portion and how to properly return payments to the IRS have also been published. Those instructions and additional guidelines relating to IRS stimulus payments can be found here:[ https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center](https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center "Learn more about economic impact payment issues.").

After a thorough discussion of your legal needs, we provide you with the information necessary to make an informed decision. Your plan is in your control, you make the decisions, we provide you with the tools. --- **What is an estate plan?** Very simply, an estate plan is a core set of documents developed to protect you, your family (including your pets), and your assets. These core documents include a Last Will and Testament and Financial and Health Care Powers of Attorney, and a Living Will. In addition to the core documents, an estate plan can also include, but not limited to, various types of trusts (i.e., revocable “living” trust, irrevocable life insurance trust) and other related documents (i.e., deeds, beneficiary designation attachments). An estate plan is not just for the ultra-wealthy. Anyone who wants to direct how his/her property are distributed at his/her death needs an estate plan. **How do I create an estate plan?** When you schedule your appointment, we will ask you complete a few forms prior to your first visit to provide us with information regarding you, your family, your finances, and your specific needs and goal. Armed with this information, we will be able to make sure that our time spent together is more productive. **Protection for your family.** It is through your estate plan where you designate a person to serve as the guardian of your minor children. You can also use your estate plan to implement asset protection techniques for your loved ones. **What is the Kuwamura Law Group’s role in my estate plan?** After developing a comprehensive plan together during our first meeting, the skilled attorneys at the Kuwamura Law Group will provide you with an accurate summary of the meeting. The Kuwamura Law Group will then draft the documents needed to carry out your wishes and provide you with a plain English explanation of the documents. The attorneys at the Kuwamura Law Group are available to answer any questions you may have about your drafts and to make any changes you may desire. Once your desires are accurately memorialized in your estate planning documents, an attorney from the Kuwamura Law Group will schedule a meeting with you to sign the documents. **The Kuwamura Law Group’s Goal.** The goal of the attorneys at the Kuwamura Law Group is to make sure you understand the mechanics of your estate plan. The Kuwamura Law Group uses a common sense approach to estate planning. Although we cannot avoid the use of legal terminology, we will help you understand the options available to you in language that is comfortable and easy to understand. We take the mystery out of the process for you. You have spent a lifetime acquiring your assets. You should be able to retain as much of your wealth as possible. The attorneys at the Kuwamura Law Group will help you achieve that goal. --- ### [Terms & Conditions](https://klgestatelaw.com/terms-conditions/) **Published:** January 17, 2024 **Author:** klglawdev **Content:** **Attorney-Client Relationship Communications** Although we are happy to have you contact us, merely contacting the Kuwamura Law Group, P.A. or any of its attorneys or employees does not create an attorney-client relationship until a written agreement has been executed between you and the Firm to handle a particular matter.
