Ahmed Nashaat: Get Your Estate and Finances in Order
According to Ahmed Nashaat, one of the most important things that people need to consider today is estate planning. Truly, there is a proper way to go about it since the reality of death is that it comes unannounced. Today, he shares some useful advice.
The first thing you must do, Ahmed Nashaat says, is understand the consequences of not having an estate plan.
You have to be sure that you are keenly aware of the events that ensue upon your death, should it come without you having an estate plan. Certain legally triggered outcomes happen due to your death, especially regarding the assets you own and whom or where this will be turned over. This means you might disagree with where your assets are headed. That said, the good thing about being alive to create an estate plan is to exercise control even in your death, notes Ahmed Nashaat.
Now that you have a good and clear idea of or know what you want to happen, it’s time to write down your estate plan.
You must account for everything you own and decide where each item should go and to whom.
The essence of an estate plan is that it is played out how you want it to. Ahmed Nashaat says this is created in the specifics of your will and the various accounts you hold.
Writing an estate plan has even helped people keep orderly documentation, which has helped them act on things early. For instance, if you don’t want your wayward child to inherit one of your promising businesses, you might decide that it’s better to sell this off to your already existing stockholders. As long as you live, an estate plan is something you can go back to, rewrite, and improve as you see fit.
