Divorce
Guardianship
Estate planning is about protecting the people you care about in the event of your disability or demise. It takes different forms ranging from having the proper legal documents in place so someone else can step into your shoes to pay bills, helping with medical decisions, to making sure your assets get to the people you designate. Of course, having your financial affairs in order are a key element, but estate planning is not just about wealth transfer. It is about providing for your disability, the guardianship of minor children, predator protection of a surviving spouse, planning for a special need child, and asset and divorce protecting your beneficiaries. Most people want to ensure they have a voice about guardianship matters for themselves and their children, protecting themselves should they become mentally disabled, and how to give their children and grandchildren divorce and creditor protection. They want to ensure that if one spouse later remarries, their children are not disinherited.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
At Pfarr & Rethore PC, we assist our clients create “Life Plans” for themselves and their families. In our unique Estate Planning process, we ask a lot of questions not normally asked, exploring the things that are important to you for you to maintain control of your life, and express your hopes and future vision for your family while protecting your heirs against the possibility of a predator or creditor frustrating your goals.
Wills
Probate is the process by which a nominated personal representative or executor, acting in a fiduciary capacity, becomes authorized to transfer title of a deceased person's assets to designated beneficiaries. Those beneficiaries are either selected by the deceased through his or her last Will and Testament or determined under the state’s laws of intestate succession where the person passed away. Depending on whether there is a last Will or not, determines the next step in the probate process. Depending on whether one is a nominated personal representative (executor) or has priority to be one, also impacts the next steps to be followed. If you are nominated to be a personal representative or have priority to be one, continue reading. Otherwise, if you are a beneficiary looking to understand your rights, please jump to our webinar about “ Are you an Heir ”. Probate or Non-Probate Assets
Trusts
Trust administration is very similar to probate except it involves a private administration of the affairs of the deceased person and not a public administration through a probate. Often, the timeline to complete a trust administration is shorter than probate because there are fewer hurdles to overcome as a result of it being handled privately.
Power of Attorney
Every good estate plan includes a Financial Power of Attorney as part of the overall estate plan design. The person you select as your agent will be empowered to act on your behalf with regard to your financial affairs and handle your routine business matters if you are unable to do so yourself. Do you want your agent empowered to act even if you are able or do you want to limit your agent's authority to act only when you are unable to act?
Probate
Most people do not have any experience in knowing what to do when someone passes away, and as a result do not know what should be done, and when. We encourage you to review the various resources we have provided in our website to help you successfully navigate through the administration process. To get started, determine if you are a nominated successor trustee, personal representative (executor), or a possible beneficiary of a trust or estate. You may be more than one of these people, and wearing multiple “hats”. Thereafter, follow the links to the appropriate heading to learn more. If you need to ask a specific question, please feel free to contact our office, 602-424-5547. Pfarr & Rethore, PC provides a full range of trust administration and probate services to its clients.

Tax Law
Any unused portion of an estate tax coupon from one spouse can be transferred to the surviving spouse. For example, when the first spouse died, if the trustee only used a portion of his or her estate tax coupon when they did the division of the assets between the sub-trusts, the difference between what was used and the full coupon value can be transferred to the surviving spouse increasing the survivor’s ability to shelter assets from further estate tax. This is called portability. The end result is the survivor gets an increased coupon amount and solves many problems that are created when assets pass outside the trust tax planning provisions because they were not correctly titled. However, to capture this benefit, one has to affirmatively elect portability. This is done by filing IRS Form 706 within nine months of the spouse’s date of death. The current version of Form 706 is 28 pages long and requires the help of a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to complete it. Not all CPA’s do this type of work and if they do it incorrectly, the successor trustee is potentially at risk for not hiring a person with requisite skill and knowledge to provide this assistance to the trust.
