Power of Attorney Protects You When You Cannot Advocate for Yourself

You never know when a medical or legal emergency will happen. Having a power of attorney in place for such circumstances can ensure everyone follows your wishes. There are two types of power of attorneys- financial and health care. You should choose a trusted family member, a proven friend, or a reputable and honest professional. The power of attorney agreement allows a secondary party to make needed decisions. These decisions do not include changing a will, contracting a marriage, or voting. You never know when a medical or legal emergency will happen.

Intentionally Defective Irrevocable Trust Preserves Family Assets

When people want to transfer income-producing and highly appreciating assets, they may use intentionally defective irrevocable trusts. This technique benefits wealthier clients. The grantor irrevocably transfers the fair market value of assets from his or her estate to minimize estate taxes. The assets are also excluded from the beneficiaries’ estates. Avoid ineffective family trusts as a scheme to avoid inheritance tax and probate. Attorney McCalister can assist you in creating an effective irrevocable trust. These trusts can be complicated for those unfamiliar. The Philip V. McCalister Law Office has the experience to help protect your family’s wealth.
