Speaker 1:
A state. Planning is all about planning ahead, Getting your affairs in order so you can enjoy your assets during your life. Have peace of mind, then protect them and pass them to your loved ones. Britton, how might I do that?
Speaker 2:
There's really three steps. So the first one is all about putting the foundational documents in place. So these are the things that everyone needs to make sure they have in place to protect themselves, their money and their property. So those foundational documents are the general durable power of attorney, the healthcare power of attorney, the living will and the will, and once you have that in place, they're customized for you. Then you can move on to the next step Two might be deed protection.
Speaker 1:
I love real estate. I want to protect my house. My house could send my grandchildren to college. They might use it to rent, they might sell it and just at least have that money. But I don't want that money to just go away. So deed protection with deeds like ladybird deeds can protect your home, then pass them on to your children.
Speaker 2:
And then number three is all about using trust to help protect what you have Two types of trust revocable and irrevocable. A revocable trust gives you all power and control with a little bit less protection. An irrevocable trust you give up a little control but you get much more protection and it can be very useful to help protect your assets from, you know, long-term care. Creditors probate those very dangerous risks that your money and property faces as you age.
