Deadly Sin #4: Your Estate is Not Big Enough for Planning

It is a no-brainer for rich folks, that they must have a plan for their estate at the time of their passing. They don’t want to be hassled with unnecessary taxes that will take a significant chunk of their life’s earnings away.

However, maybe the rich folks have it right. Regardless of your lot in life, a comprehensive plan is a must. Even if you have only made just enough to get by at the time that a plan would be necessary, the process that will divvy up your wealth can take up to 40%.

​Whether you make $10,000 a year or $100,000, that is very significant. That is money and belongings that belong to your successors, not to the government. 

That being said, the plans that you must follow can and should be different based on the size of your wealth. Just because both the rich and the middle class need estate planning doesn’t mean that they need the same KIND of plan.
