      I think it is the complete opposite :). IRA and other retirement accounts by nature have beneficiaries already declared, and so they will never need to go through probate = distributions will happen directly to the beneficiaries. Bank accounts, however, don't always are the POD (payable-on-death) type where beneficiaries can be declared. In this case these bank accounts will end up going through probate if not listed as trust assets.

    Even tho California has no asset limit for medi-Cal Beneficiaries, Medi-Cal requires you report 100% of your inheritance within 10 days. How can you do this within 10 days when it takes months?
    Covered California, on the other hand, says you don’t have to report when you receive and inheritance, but have to report when you sell an asset. Why the discrepancy?

    My parents owned the property originally. They divorced. Daughter purchased the property at 550,000. The father then put the property back into his name, but did not release the title back before prop 19.
    If the daughter takes it back, will the assessment go back to the original $60,000 purchase or from her purchase at 550,000? This property is in LA County.

    • @CunninghamLegal
      @CunninghamLegal  4 місяці тому +1

      Thank you for sharing your situation. While the cost of an estate plan may initially seem high, it's essential to consider the top 3 potential savings and benefits a living trust can offer:
      Designating Beneficiaries: With a living trust, you can clearly designate who will receive your assets, ensuring your specific wishes are honored. Without a plan, California intestacy laws and Probate Court would govern your estate, potentially passing your assets to parents, siblings, or more distant relatives, which might not align with your wishes if you wanted assets to go to friends or charitable organizations.
      Cost of Probate: Probate can be a lengthy and costly process, often amounting to 4-8% of your estate's value in fees. Probate fees are calculated based on the gross value of your estate, not the net value. For example, if you own a condo worth $500,000 with a $200,000 mortgage, probate fees could be assessed on the full $500,000 value, not just the $300,000 equity. This could mean $20,000 to $40,000 in probate costs, significantly higher than the cost of setting up a living trust. And that's just the condo! In Probate, fees will be based on all assets, including the brokerage accounts. We have a probate fee calculator on our website so you can see the difference: www.cunninghamlegal.com/california-probate-fee-calculator/
      Incapacity Planning: Incapacity planning is crucial as it designates someone you trust to manage your financial affairs and healthcare decisions if you become unable to do so, preventing court intervention and potential familial disputes. It also allows your medical preferences to be honored and provides peace of mind that your affairs are in order.
