How to deal with complexities in estate planning?



Plan well ahead and agree on the mandate with those who should assist you in the event of incapacity, medical decisions, and end-of-life care. With clarity about your wishes, it's time to share them with the beneficiaries. Estate planning is a results game, and the beneficiaries will evaluate which result has been achieved. Empathy for their worries and pressures will contribute to your lasting legacy. It's also a perfect moment to reflect on the purpose of wealth in your and your successors' life.


If things are complex and complicated, lifetime gifts can be an option to simplify estate planning. If you doubt your heirs' lasting gratitude for some assets such as real estate, you may keep the usufruct during your lifetime while transferring ownership directly.
