Retirement, Trust & Estate Planning | 2021

Leaving an inheritance to minors

While it’s not easy to think about, estate planning to provide for your children in case of an untimely death is vital.

The consideration of who will raise them is only one factor to consider. You should also delegate what happens with any money or property you leave behind and who will manage the inheritance until they become adults.

If you have young children, you may not think you are old enough to worry about making end-of-life plans. However, it’s never too early to begin making plans to secure your family’s future. When planning an inheritance and custody plan, hire a professional attorney to ensure your last will and trust are legally certified and uncontestable.

PROPERTY GUARDIAN

Unless you directly appoint a guardian for your children, the process will be settled in probate. The court process occurs when there is no legal will that expresses your wishes and the state handles your estate.

While in most cases, the surviving parent will manage the property or inheritance until the child reaches adult age, this isn’t always the desired result. It’s essential to document your choice for your children’s property guardian legally.

SET UP TRUSTS

Another strategic option is to set up a trust for each of your children. Within your will or living trust, appoint a trustee to oversee the minor’s inheritance until a specific age of your choosing.

The trusted family member or friend is required to act in the beneficiary’s best interests while following your written instructions. Typically, a financial

© Adobe Stock

inheritance can be used to cover costs such as those for the child’s health, education and living expenses.

Make sure to ask your chosen trustee if they are up for it, as the role requires

regular challenges. For instance, they must file annual income tax returns for the trust.

They are also limited to what’s allowed in the will, except for the section that outlines their authority.

For this reason, they may be asked to bring the physical document to banks or other facilities when they attempt to perform business on behalf of the beneficiaries.

Paying for longterm care

The Weekly Prospector

Pg 3

Planning for long-term care later in life is not always a subject that seniors want to face. However, ensuring you have a strategy in place will alleviate your family members’ burden and guarantees that you are financially prepared for assisted living.

Fortunately, the fiscal strain doesn’t have to fall entirely on your shoulders, as many government programs are available for assistance.

Another benefit to getting ahead of long-term care planning is choosing from more options regarding where you will stay. Some assisted-living communities require long waiting lists and may have limited availability if you are suddenly forced into a situation where you need care.

When possible, begin searching for a facility or neighborhood while you’re in good health to make a valuable decision.

AVAILABLE FINANCING HELP

According to the American Seniors Housing Association, the national median cost for assisted living per month is

about $4,000. For seniors who live in a private room in a nursing home, the price can increase to an average of $8,365 per month.

If the costs for care are too far out of budget, it’s essential to ask for help from a governmental or federal agency.

Here are a few programs you may be eligible for, as recommended by the American Association of Retired Persons.

• Long-term care insurance. Speak with your insurance provider about adding this policy to your plan. Since it’s not widely

available through Medicare or many private health insurance companies, you may have to find individual coverage.

• Medicaid. The federal/state health care program is helpful to those with lower income and can sometimes assist with the cost of care.

• The Department of Veterans Affairs.

If you served time in the military, you might qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit. It’s a supplemental pension that helps pay for assisted living or care for those who need help with daily activities.

PAYING OUT OF POCKET

Whether you plan to receive home-based care or live in an assisted living facility, paying out of pocket can be expensive. Many seniors rely on their savings, pensions or retirement fund to help cover the costs. Other methods may include cashing out stocks and bonds or proceeds they earned from selling a home.

Retirement, Trust & Estate Planning | 2021

Planning tips for newlyweds Making estate or end-of-life planning is likely the last thing on your mind after beginning life as a married couple.

However, with the new unity, the responsibility of protecting your spouse in case of an untimely death is critical. Experts say that thinking about estate planning early in the marriage process can actually be a bonding experience.

Discussing estate planning isn’t always easy. However, the journey must be traveled together. If your spouse is hesitant to approach the subject, share the importance of its meaning and the peace of mind gained once it is achieved. Begin your life together by following these tips to secure the future for both parties and any children involved.

© Adobe Stock

COMBINE YOUR DOCUMENTS

After your marriage, you will receive a certificate that shows the legality of your union. Take this opportunity to combine it with other vital documents and keep them in a secure, fireproof safe. It’s also a good idea to make separate copies and store them in an off-site location like a deposit box.

A few forms you should include are birth certificates, social security cards, passports and documents that represent your children. You will also need to be honest about financial information like bank accounts, life insurance policies and retirement plans.

SET A LIST OF GOALS

Writing a list of goals for your estate

can help you meet milestones and make more significant attempts to save to meet your vision. Consider deciding on a set amount that will benefit your loved ones and a sum that goes to a chosen charity.

Work together to make a plan, set achievements and reach your accomplishments. One significant

advantage is to work with an expert estate planning attorney who can provide the right steps you should take.

CREATE A WILL AND TRUST

A secure will or trust is an excellent

place to begin when drafting your estate plans. The documents or accounts can express your desires for distributing your assets or finances without loved ones facing drawn-out probate processes.

Of course, remember to update your final wishes as you welcome children into the world or life situations change.

How financial planners can help you Financial planning and retirement go hand in hand. Without effective planning, many people would never be able to retire, while others might have to work much longer than they hope to. While financial planning is essential to achieve long-term goals, planning also can make it easier for people to meet their everyday financial needs.

Managing money is a big responsibility, and it’s one that many people may need help with. A recent survey from Pew Charitable Trusts found that 55 percent of Americans spend as much or more than they earn. That’s not only compromising their financial futures, but also making daily life more stressful, as the American Psychological Association’s annual “Stress in America” survey routinely finds that money is a top cause of stress among millions of Americans.

Adults who are finding it difficult to manage their money on a day-to-day basis may benefit from the services of a financial planner. Financial planners can help people create effective long-term financial plans, and they also can be vital resources for people who need help managing their money every day.

AN UNBIASED PERSPECTIVE

An honest assessment of monthly expenses is essential when creating a monthly budget. However, many people tend to be biased when it comes to their monthly expenses. For example, some may feel that three streaming service subscriptions are something they cannot live without. That can make it difficult to trim some of the fat from their monthly expenditures. A financial planner

will begin by examining your monthly expenses and may or may not make unbiased suggestions regarding where you can save.

TIME

The average household is a hectic place. Adults with commitments at work and home often cite a lack of time as one of the reasons they aren’t more on top of

their finances. A 2018 survey from Bankrate.com found that 16 percent of respondents aren’t saving more money because they haven’t gotten to it. Financial planners have the time to help clients save, and over time a planner can be an expense that pays for itself if families are saving more as a result of enlisting the services of a planner.

EXPERTISE

One of the reasons people struggle financially is that it can be hard to navigate the world of investments, insurance and taxes. Planners have the financial literacy necessary to navigate those waters successfully and can help people realize both their short- and long-term financial goals.

Did you know?

Many people plan to retire by a certain age, but few may actually still be working at their targeted retirement age. In the United States, the age at which working Americans expect to retire has risen to 66. But a Gallup poll showed that most don’t stay on the job that long, instead retiring when they’re about 60 or 61. In addition, according to a 2018 Employee Benefit Research Institute survey, 48 percent of workers

wanted to retire after age 65, but only 19 percent of retirees stayed on the job that long. The reasons vary, but one positive outcome is having enough money to live comfortably during retirement.

Still, early retirement largely involves unexpected scenarios. These may include poor health, having to care for an aging parent, downsizing, new skills required for the job, or other workrelated reasons.

“Large enough to know, small enough to care.”

Talking to your family Don’t be surprised if your family is caught off guard and has questions about your health. Especially if this will be the first time you have addressed your legacy, it’s understandable they may get the wrong idea. You can avert suspicions by explaining you are concerned about having a plan in place to lessen their responsibilities at the time of your death.

Try to hold the conversation in a comforting place that offers privacy.

7 ways to save more for retirement

SCHEDULING

© Adobe Stock

It’s never easy to discuss the topic of death with loved ones, but it’s necessary to have a plan in place. Commit to having a conversation with your family so that they understand your final wishes. Here are some ways to prepare for the necessary dialogue and how to handle the situation gracefully.

TIMING COUNTS

Family tragedies or emergencies can heighten your interest in developing an estate plan and relaying your wishes to loved ones. But it’s best to put off a discussion until everyone has had some time to process the loss.

It’s imperative to coordinate a meeting that blends with your loved one’s hectic schedules. To limit the number of times you discuss a plan, it will make sense to wait until everyone involved is available, if they are comfortable with a group conversation.

Your initial meeting should relay wishes regarding how assets should be handled and considerations for key members like power of attorney or living trusts.

If needed, hold a second discussion where your family can talk about concerns after they’ve processed the initial conversation.

DEFINE YOUR LEGACY

Planning your estate while you are in good physical and emotional health gives you the opportunity to determine how to honor the legacy left behind.

Take advantage of removing the stress of difficult decisions from your family’s shoulders by instructing the exact details of how to handle your assets.

Retirement seems like a lifetime away for young professionals. But as careers advance, families are started and milestones are met, retirement can start to feel a lot closer.

A recent poll indicates that most Americans now retire at age 62. That is a good starting point when planning your retirement. The earlier you start establishing savings goals and putting plans in motion, the more likely you will be to retire on time without having to worry about money. These strategies can help you save more for retirement years.

1. RAISE …

WHAT RAISE?

If you’re lucky enough to get a salary increase at work, direct the extra money into retirement savings accounts and act like the raise never happened. You won’t miss the extra money since you were not accustomed to earning it, and redirecting it into retirement savings can go a long way toward procuring your financial future.

2. MAX OUT DEPOSIT LIMITS

By depositing the maximum allowable amount into your retirement accounts each year, you can grow your retirement savings quickly and earn considerably more interest on your money over the life of the account.

3. ALLOCATE YOUR TAX REFUND

Elect to apply your tax refund to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA.

4. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EMPLOYERS’

OFFERS TO MATCH RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

Many employers will match 401(k) contributions if you save enough to qualify. This is an easy way to save without having to put in any extra money out of your own pocket. Make sure you’re vested in the 401(k) plan so that the employer contributions can be taken with you if you leave a job.

5. OPEN A ROTH IRA

A Roth IRA is a retirement savings vehicle that enables you to pay taxes on the money you put in up front. When you become eligible to withdraw the funds (after age 59 1⁄2), they are tax-free.

6. AIM FOR A 15 PERCENT INVESTMENT

Start investing 15 percent of gross income for retirement once you’re debtfree and have a fully funded emergency fund. Such a strategy can go a long way toward ensuring you have enough money to do what you want throughout retirement.

7. MAKE CALCULATED CUTS

Think about which items you can live without and dedicate what you would spend on those expenditures to retirement. For example, calculate the difference between buying a new car and a certified pre-owned model. Deposit the savings into retirement. Can you skip a vacation this year and do a staycation instead? Forgoing certain luxuries can help you build retirement savings.

Importance of trusts Developing a trust is another beneficial pre-planning tool to capitalize on when organizing your estate. While your lawyer or financial advisor can walk you through different policies that may benefit you, a living trust is of utmost importance for you and your family.

Virtually, this type of trust guarantees your estate and belongings will be distributed under the terms you create when it is drafted.

Because life happens and your beneficiaries may change due to many factors, updating your documents after major milestones is crucial. If you’re unsure of the benefits when building a legal trust, check out some of the most critical reasons it is necessary.

WHAT IS A TRUST?

A trust is an agreement between a grantor, the person who assigns control of an asset, and a beneficiary who receives the benefits upon death. The policy is managed by a trustee who ensures the policy is handled per your requests when it comes into effect.

Typically, there are two different types of trusts related to estate planning. Here is

how they differ, as suggested by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

• Revocable trust: This legal document can be revoked, terminated or changed at any time by the grantor.

• Irrevocable trust: A grantor appoints beneficiaries to property or assets while giving up the power to cancel or modify the terms.

AVOID PROBATE

According to the American Bar Association, probate is the court-supervised legal procedure that determines the validity of your will. The legal action is necessary when appointing an executor to administer an estate and distribute assets to noted beneficiaries. A way to avoid this sometimeslengthy requirement is to create a living trust within your final wishes.

While it may be an extra step during estate planning, completing this policy ensures your belongings are immediately handed to the person you chose as a representative upon death. It forgoes the need for your personal documents to be approved by the court and, in exchange, is handled in a private setting.

We can help in most family law matters including Wills and Estate Planning, Power of Attorney, Probate and end of life care.

Avoid estate planning scams

Unscrupulous actors sometimes try to entice unaware victims into financially crippling scams. One of the most common types of scam deals relates to living trusts.

Fortunately, by doing your research and ensuring you are entering a valuable contract, most scams are easy to see through and avoid.

A living trust is a written legal document into which you place some or all of your assets. The belongings are managed by yourself or by someone whom you dedicate the responsibility to at the time of death or until a specific date. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, you can choose from two types of trusts.

A revocable trust is an adaptive deposit account managed by one or more people designated as a beneficiary who receives the assets upon an owner’s death. It can be revoked, terminated or changed at any time, at the discretion of the owner. An irrevocable trust is when the owner contributes deposits or properties to the trust but gives up power to cancel or change the account.

When determining the right plan, keep

an eye out for common types of scams, as reported by the attorney general of Pennsylvania.

Attorneys at Law

Joseph m. Kosel jkosel@johnskosellaw.com

605-717-2889 • 203 West Main Street • Lead, SD 57754 www.JohnsKoselLaw.com

Typically, the beginnings of a dishonest living trust begin with a phone call.

Unsuspecting people, often elderly, are solicited to attend seminars or receive an inhome visit to discuss living trusts.

Once the meeting starts, trustors are often put under extreme pressure to secure their assets through pushy sale pitches. In most cases, a con artist will play on the worry that your beneficiaries will be unprepared to deal with your death or that a court will decide what happens to your belongings.

In most cases, these salespeople are merely attempting to access your sensitive financial information. They will often make illegal withdrawals from your accounts or sell your data to other con artists to pursue more fraudulent sales.

WAYS TO AVOID A SCAM

Keep these tips in mind to avoid falling victim to an unruly financial trust.

• Recruit your own trusted attorney or reputable estate planner.

• Never sign documents that you don’t fully understand.

• Ensure you have the option to update your trust periodically.

• Verify any affiliation or endorsement by a government agency or senior association.

The facts on life insurance policies Few people want to face their own mortality when they are in the prime of their lives. However, thinking ahead and making advanced plans can save family members considerable heartache.

Life insurance policies can help men and women make things easier for their spouses, children or siblings. Life insurance provides financial security in the event of a person’s death. Such insurance is a key element of estate

planning and something all adults must consider.

It’s smart to purchase life insurance at a relatively young age because the cost can be lower. Some people put off the process because it can be overwhelming.

But Forbes magazine advises that once a person does a little research and learns the terminology associated with life insurance, choosing a policy is not so difficult.

DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE YOU WILL NEED

Make a list of expected expenses after you pass away. These may include any residual mortgage payments, school tuitions, automotive payments, or funeral expenses. In addition, approximate how much your family will need to live comfortably in your absence. Online calculators can help determine life insurance coverage needs. The New York Life Insurance Company says a quick way to figure out how much coverage you may need is to take your annual salary and multiply it by eight.

DECIDE ON THE TYPE OF POLICY

Life insurance policies come in two broad categories: term and whole life. Term life insurance may be less expensive upfront, as it only provides coverage for a set number

of years. It will only pay out if the policy holder dies during this “term.” Whole life insurance, also called “cash value,” usually costs more, but accumulates a cash value that can be borrowed against, and it pays out whenever a person passes away.

CHOOSE AMONG REPUTABLE COMPANIES

You want to ensure the life insurance company you pick will be around for years and has a strong reputation, so give ample consideration to each company you explore before making a final decision.

KNOW THE WAITING PERIOD

Many policies establish a period of time on policies wherein there is very little cash-out value and the company will not pay out the full death benefit. This may be a year or two after opening the policy. Discuss this information with the insurance agent.

Enjoy an eco-friendly autumn Autumn arrives with cool breezes, aweinspiring foliage and the hint of holidays on the horizon. Fall is a favorite time of year for many people because the crisp weather motivates people of all ages to enjoy the great outdoors.

Individuals conscious of their carbon footprints can use fall as a time to take inventory of their behaviors and make changes where necessary. The following are some steps to take right now that fit perfectly with the harvest season.

Shop at a local farm stand

Take advantage of the many roadside stands that crop up this time of year where you can find bushels of apples, pumpkins, gourds, and late-summer vegetables. After a day of sightseeing, visit a farm stand for warm cider and freshly baked doughnuts.

Buying local produce reduces reliance on foreign-shipped foods and other products, while also cutting back on the fuel consumed to get foods from the farm to the table.

Use nature to decorate

Skip plastic, mass-produced decorations and rely on nature to dress up your home.

Fill vases with leaves and berries. Place small pumpkins on mantles, and enrich

the landscape of your home with vibrantly hued mums and other cool-weather plants.

Corn husks and stalks can add harvest flair to front porches. Twigs nestled and tied together can make interesting table centerpieces.

Create a composting pile

Outdoor chores are easier in cool weather than they are when the mercury rises. Set aside a place in the yard for composting. A healthy compost pile should have roughly two-thirds carbon (brown) materials and one-third nitrogen (green) materials, says EarthEasy.com. Use those lawn clippings and raked leaves to make compost for spring plantings.

Visit a corn maze

After corn has been harvested, farm owners often use their land for supplemental income. Corn mazes can be simple or complex depending on visitors’ ages. Engage in family bonding outside and turn off electronics in the process.

Bake your own pie

After a fun-filled day picking apples at a nearby orchard, head home and use those locally sourced apples to whip up a delicious pie.

10 fun facts for fall

Whether one is collecting leaves, picking apples, exploring corn mazes, or driving the countryside enjoying the foliage, autumn is full of fun facts that can make the season that much more enjoyable.

1. Autumn begins on the autumnal equinox, which occurs on or near September 22 in the northern hemisphere. When the equinox occurs, there are an equal number of daylight and nighttime hours.

2. Since ancient times, autumn has been an important time of year for many civilizations. Autumn is a main harvesting time in many areas, and a successful harvest was once necessary for survival.

3. Fall is a time when trees and other plants prepare for dormancy during winter.

As autumn progresses and the hours of daylight gradually decrease, trees begin to close down their food production systems and reduce the amount of chlorophyll in leaves. Chlorophyll is the chemical that makes tree leaves green, and as it declines, leaves change color.

4. Some scientists believe that global climate change can impact autumn colors, such as delaying the change in trees. Also, red pigments may start to decline as trees use sugary fuel to grow new twigs.

5. Americans more readily refer to this time of year as “fall,” while the British use “autumn.” Both terms date back to around the 16th century.

6. Much of the United States bids farewell to monarch butterflies in the fall. Each autumn, monarch butterflies migrate from the United States to Mexico and some parts of Southern California.

7. A study of U.S. centenarians born between 1880 to 1895 published in the Journal of Aging Research, found that babies born during autumn months are more likely to live to age 100 than those born during the rest of the year.

8. Squash, pumpkins and other gourds are prominent in the fall. The largest squash grown on record weighed in at 1,486.6 pounds in 2011.

9. The many-colored leaves are not the only display one might see during the fall. The autumn equinox signals the aurora borealis, also called the Northern Lights. That’s because, during the fall, geomagnetic storms are about twice as frequent as the annual average.

10. Full moons are named for the month or season in which they rise. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox.

Recycle old clothes to dress your scarecrow

Clothing that is not worthy of donation can be transformed into a festive scarecrow just in time for Halloween hijinks. Fill out the body of the scarecrow with newspaper and then add some pieces of straw around the neck, hands and feet.

Host a football party

Watch the game on television or have a pickup game in the yard. Serve finger foods to cut down on the need for plastic or paper plates and flatware. Purchase a keg of beer from a local brewery to eliminate individual beer cans and bottles. Set out a punch bowl that the kids can enjoy too.

First Interstate Bank’s Volunteer Day Benefits 234 Nonprofits To mark its fourth annual Volunteer Day, First Interstate Bank closed all branches at noon on September 8 to grant employees paid time to volunteer in their communities. More than 1,820 employees supported 234 separate nonprofit organizations across six states, making this year’s impact the largest ever.

The overarching philanthropic focus of this year’s Volunteer Day was anchored in combating poverty, hunger, and homelessness.

However, employees were empowered to select whichever nonprofit organization they desired to ensure they catered to the specific needs of their communities. Here in Spearfish, volunteers participated in four service projects, supporting three organizations including Bella Pregnancy Resource Center, Black Hills Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Spearfish Senior Service Center.

Throughout these organizations, volunteers could be seen painting and sanding a shed, building a shed, painting hallways and deep cleaning.

“This day simply concentrates and magnifies the efforts of our wonderful employees, who give and give generously to the places where we live and work,” said Shawn Rost, South Dakota Market President. “We are honored to celebrate the power of community with our neighbors today.”

Recognizing the challenges brought on by COVID-19, employees were given the option to volunteer onsite at organizations that accommodated safe social distancing.

Additional options allowed employees to volunteer remotely—from their home, from the Bank, or virtually by hosting webinars or financial education seminars.

“Having outside help come in and do these particular

tasks was so helpful to our organization,” said Stephanie Crago, executive director of the Spearfish Senior Center.

“Cleaning the tables and painting involved more volunteers than we had available at the time so having the workers from the bank come in was so appreciated!”

Giving back on Volunteer Day isn’t just a one-and-done focus for First Interstate. It’s a philanthropic philosophy employees bring to life every day at the $18.9 billion organization with branches across six states.

“Giving back to the places we call home is what makes us who we are,” said First Interstate President and CEO, Kevin Riley. “Yes, we’re a full-service community bank, but more importantly, we’re a trusted community partner and neighbor. We are honored to celebrate the power of community with you on Volunteer Day—and every day.”

In addition to Volunteer Day, First Interstate champions other innovative philanthropy-focused programs, including Teach Children to Save, Neighbors Feeding Neighbors, Coats and More, and Get Smart About Credit. Additionally, through the organization’s volunteer match program, the bank pays nonprofits $10 for each hour First Interstate employees volunteer at their organizations. First Interstate also matches employee donations to nonprofits and is committed to donating 2% of its net income before taxes to charitable organizations. In fact, over the past 11 years, First Interstate has contributed $36.3 million in donations and 143,000 volunteer hours to nonprofits across its footprint.

To learn more about Volunteer Day or the additional services that First Interstate offers, visit firstinterstate. com or stop into one of First Interstate’s more than 150 branch locations.
