According to Cerulli Associates, an estimated $68 trillion in assets will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/10\/21\/what-the-68-trillion-great-wealth-transfer-means-for-advisors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shift from Boomers to younger generations<\/a> in the coming years. Meanwhile, LegalZoom research found that nearly 56% Americans believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalzoom.com\/articles\/estate-planning-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">estate planning is important<\/a>, but only one in three (33%) have documented their end-of-life plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your clients may not have billions at stake like the fictitious Roys in Succession, but this massive transition and lack of preparation for it represents a unique opportunity to provide clients with highly valued estate planning guidance, offering what I refer to as a &#8220;Family Office Level of Care.&#8221; We are seeing a democratization of the family office model, with tax and accounting firms integrating forward-looking services such as tax planning, financial planning, and estate planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Why don\u2019t more Americans have an estate plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Caring.com study revealed that two thirds of high-income individuals tend to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caring.com\/caregivers\/estate-planning\/wills-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">delay the estate planning process<\/a> due to the reluctance to meet with, and pay, high-priced attorneys, as well as the morbid topic of death and a significant amount of paperwork involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, technology is now offering a solution and opening the door for wider adoption. By embracing these technological advancements and incorporating them into their practice, you can simplify the often complex and daunting estate planning process for your clients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital platforms, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/trustandwill.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trust &amp; Will<\/a>, have streamlined the estate planning process and offer a user-friendly digital experience, enabling lay people and their advisors to complete basic estate plans on their own. As your client\u2019s most trusted advisor, you already have much of the financial information required to complete the plan on these digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An estate plan is recommended for anyone who owns assets, such as real estate, cars, cash, or other property, regardless of the size of those assets. And it is not only for the wealthy; everyone has an &#8220;estate&#8221; to some extent and can benefit from careful planning. But Caring.com found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/04\/11\/67percent-of-americans-have-no-estate-plan-heres-how-to-get-started-on-one.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one third of Americans<\/a> believe they don\u2019t have enough assets to pass on to their heirs. If your clients have a home, tangible assets, or children, an estate plan can ensure their desires for the future are clearly outlined and legally protected. Even if they don&#8217;t have substantial assets or children, an estate plan can still be beneficial. For example, it can articulate a client&#8217;s wishes through healthcare directives and even indicate guardianship for a pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Trusts over wills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a will is preferable to having no estate plan at all, since a will allows you to outline your wishes clearly. However, wills must pass through probate court, a public, time-consuming, and costly process. In contrast, trusts provide a more efficient, private way to transfer assets to heirs, bypassing probate court&#8217;s complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Minimize estate tax and lifetime exemption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper planning is crucial for preventing estate taxes from significantly depleting the estates of high net worth clients with assets exceeding $12.92 million (individual) and $25.84 million (couples) as of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renowned advanced estate planning strategist Randy Fox of Two Hawks Consulting recently stated on my <a href=\"https:\/\/spotifyanchor-web.app.link\/e\/HdhOXbNqtAb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">podcast<\/a> that people don\u2019t understand they have three possible beneficiaries of their assets: their family, charities, or the government. If they aren\u2019t charitable, the government essentially becomes their beneficiary. This underscores how tax professionals can help their clients use strategies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/charitable-giving-tips-for-the-holiday-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charitable giving<\/a> to reduce income tax liabilities and protect a client\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Clients want advice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study from the Insurance Network of Fiduciary Advisors shows that nearly all clients (96%) want <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/10\/21\/what-the-68-trillion-great-wealth-transfer-means-for-advisors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wealth transfer advice<\/a> (divorce, death, and inheritance) but only 25% are receiving it. Why don\u2019t financial professionals do a better job helping clients navigate these issues?<br><br>As Julie Johnson of XY Communication said <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasters.spotify.com\/pod\/show\/arrowrootfamilyoffice\/episodes\/Improving-Intergenerational--Gender-Communication-w-Julie-Johnson-e250o1b\/a-aa0rehb\" target=\"_blank\">on my podcast<\/a>, \u201cClients want support and assistance to make sure that their family&#8217;s financial futures are stable and are planned for. Women and young people under the age of 55, are going to be the most dominant holders of investable assets by 2030. Financial professionals who can established trust with women and younger <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/practice-management\/how-the-next-generation-will-transform-the-industry-into-advisory-first\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generations<\/a>, and \u201cmeet them where they want to be,\u201d will be best positioned for success, she said.<br><br>According to Johnson, an expert on intergenerational and gender communication, financial advisors and estate planning attorneys are largely not meeting their clients&#8217; expectations when it comes to estate planning and their bigger financial picture. She said there\u2019s an opportunity for tax professionals like you to step in and fill the void. By facilitating the estate planning conversation with your clients, Johnson said you can position yourself as a valuable resource and trusted advisor in this crucial area.
