The start of a new year is a natural moment to set goals, create plans, and prioritize what matters most. For aging couples and their families, one resolution can make all the difference: “We will protect our Real Estate legacy from probate.”
Planning cannot wait. The widowhood effect shows that when one spouse passes, the surviving spouse faces an increased risk of passing soon after. Families who prepare early save their loved ones from unnecessary stress, lengthy courts, or preventable financial loss.
Here are steps you can take in the new year to safeguard your property and your legacy:
➜ Inventory every property including the primary home, rentals, vacation homes, and any vacant land.
➜ Check how each property Title is held according to county records. Verify if each one is listed as Sole Ownership, Joint Tenancy, Community Property, Tenants in Common, Living Trust, or LLC.
➜ Update outdated documents so inheritance wishes are clear and current. If children or grandchildren are intended beneficiaries, make sure Deeds and Living Trusts clearly reflect it.
➜ Consult qualified professionals so Deeds, Trusts, and LLC structures comply with state guidelines and avoid common probate pitfalls.
