How To Structure Your Estate So Your Heirs Avoid A Financial Headache

How To Structure Your Estate So Your Heirs Avoid A Financial Headache Authored by Javier Simon via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),When you leave this earth, you want to make sure your loved ones are taken care of and that you leave behind a cherished legacy. But without a plan, you can leave your family with some serious headaches. That’s why it’s important to take some steps today to make sure this doesn’t happen. Let’s take a look at some options.Andrey_Popov/ShutterstockConsider a Living TrustWithout a proper plan dictating how you’d like your assets distributed after your passing, your estate—that is, everything you own—would need to go through a court process known as probate to determine who gets what. This can take months and even years. And with it can come hefty court fees and other expenses. Plus, it’s all public record.But you can bypass this with a revocable living trust. As a trust grantor or creator, you can transfer various types of assets into a trust, such as cash, real estate, and investments. In the trust document, you can clearly outline how you’d want your assets distributed and under what terms. As trustee, you can also manage the assets in your lifetime or appoint someone else. In addition, you can appoint a successor trustee to manage and distribute assets based on your direction.A living trust doesn’t go through probate. And because it removes assets from your estate, it can potentially shield you from the estate tax.Update BeneficiariesCertain accounts such as retirement plans can allow for beneficiaries that you may list when you open the account. This holds a lot of weight. In fact, it overrides wills. But as time passes, your intentions may change. Maybe you set your spouse as a beneficiary, but a divorce may have you thinking you’d want to change beneficiaries to someone else, such as your child. But if you don’t act fast, the initial beneficiary designation stays. So you may want to review beneficiary designations periodically to make sure they still align with your wishes.Set Up a Durable Power of AttorneyNobody likes to think about it, but anyone can become incapacitated at some point in their lives. This is why it’s important to establish a durable power of attorney. This individual, also called an agent, can step in to legally handle your financial matters should you become mentally incapable to do so. This agent also can oversee assets that don’t typically fit into a trust such as retirement plans.In the durable power of attorney document, you should clearly outline your agent’s responsibilities, powers, and limitations.But, overall, you’d have someone competent to continue managing your finances for the benefit of your loved ones.Write a WillAlthough a trust can open the door to a smooth distribution of your assets and avoid probate, a will can still come in handy.More importantly, it allows you to designate legal guardians for any minor children. It also can provide guidance for personal items or assets unintentionally left out of your trust.Take Advantage of Gift Tax ExclusionsSo far, we’ve discussed passing on assets to your loved ones. But you can always pass on gifts to help your loved ones during your lifetime. In fact, current tax laws give you a lot of freedom here.For 2025, as an example, you can give up to $19,000 per individual without incurring a gift tax. And married couples can double that limit, up to $38,000. But if you go over those limits, you generally won’t owe a tax. Still, you’d need to file IRS Form 709. And the amount that spills over decreases your lifetime gift and estate tax exclusion of $13.99 million for 2025 or $27.98 million for married couples. Once you go past those limits, you may face taxes.However, the strategy of gifting substantially can shrink the size of your estate over time and potentially reduce or avoid the estate tax as a result.Stay OrganizedEven if you have the advantages of safeguards like trusts and durable power of attorney, one thing that could force the courts to step in is lack of information.So, make sure you keep all important digital and physical documents safe and secure. Be sure to list all assets and asset types. Keep all account numbers, pins, passwords, and other crucial data safe and accessible for your agent or a trusted family member. Keep physical documents like financial statements, deeds, and titles in fireproof safes or something just as effective.The Bottom LineWithout a solid plan, you may leave behind some stress for your family, and your assets may not be distributed as you would have thought fit. But you can take action to prevent this today. You can look into revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, wills, and more to create a sound estate-planning strategy. But as these tasks can be complex, it’s crucial that you design your plan with the help of a qualified estate-planning attorney.The Epoch Times copyright © 2025.

Joe Biden's Family Christmas Photo Is So Awkward And Wrong

Joe Biden's Family Christmas Photo Is So Awkward And Wrong Authored by Matt Margolis via PJMedia.com,Yet another Biden family photo has become a punch line on social media, and trust me, this one is a doozy.Biden shared the image around 9 p.m. on December 24, accompanied by a fairly boilerplate message: “Wishing you a peaceful and joyful Christmas Eve filled with love.The strange part? You kinda had to play a game of Where's Waldo just to spot him.Wishing you a peaceful and joyful Christmas Eve filled with love. pic.twitter.com/OB5GouvxTJ— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) December 25, 2025Hunter Biden and his adult daughter, Maisy, grabbed the prime spots front and center in front of the Christmas tree, whereas Biden is shoved to the back, his face partially hidden behind his wife, Jill Biden. Seven family members made it into the shot, including Joe’s daughter and former showering partner, Ashley—I had to say it—and Hunter’s current wife, Melissa.Now, one thing is clear from this photo: there was ample room for them to spread out. There was simply no reason for Biden to be pushed to the background. Frankly, it’s bizarre that the supposed patriarch of the family, and, you know, the former president-ish of the United States, ended up tucked in a corner like an afterthought, or like he was being deliberately hidden.At least Hunter is fully clothed in this photo.Social media users had a field day with the awkward composition.I think it’s disrespectful to put the eldest family member in the back of a photo taken for the former president’s social media.— Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) December 25, 2025Where’s Joe?— Gunther EaglemanTM (@GuntherEagleman) December 25, 2025Took me a while to find ya, champ. pic.twitter.com/bRoP2dBeFP— Apple Lamps (@lamps_apple) December 25, 2025Why are you in the back, blocked by jill— Official Ohio State DG (@DylanEveryday) December 25, 2025This Christmas photo follows an unfortunate pattern of Biden appearing lost or hidden in group settings. Back in April 2022, Barack Obama visited the White House when Biden signed yet another Obamacare fix. After the signing, Biden found himself standing alone on stage, practically invisible as Democrats swarmed Obama as if he, not Biden, were the star of the event. Video showed Biden raising his hands in apparent frustration as the crowd ignored him completely.Then came the April 2025 Easter family photo that sparked its own controversy. Biden appeared awkwardly positioned and formally dressed in a navy suit while everyone else wore casual clothing. His stiff pose and mismatched lighting prompted widespread speculation that he'd been photoshopped into the image.We wish everyone celebrating today a peaceful and joyful Easter. pic.twitter.com/GQNsdZNaw1— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 20, 2025Hunter was notably absent from that particular family portrait.But, back to the Christmas photo.As Andy Ngo noted, setting aside Biden’s status as the former sort-of president, putting the eldest member of the family in the back of a photo like this is quite disrespectful. I mean, this is the guy whose influence in Washington, D.C. helped enrich the Biden family for years. Put the guy in a chair and have everyone stand around him for crying out loud. That said, Biden has never seemed to command respect from people, whether it’s his own party or, now, apparently, his own family. It’s sad, really.If this is how Joe Biden is treated for a photo meant to be posted on social media, how badly is he treated in private? Tyler DurdenFri, 12/26/2025 - 09:40
