Transferring wealth & wisdom from generation to generation

THINK TWICE BEFORE FILLING OUT A TRANSFER ON DEATH (TOD) FORM

Too often, the way we title newly acquired assets and financial accounts is too casual. The financial advisor or salesperson asks you how you wish to take the title and who you would like to be the beneficiary of the financial account. All too often, they create a TOD, which stands for transfer on death. Therefore, the account will pass directly to your heirs without any aggravation. Unfortunately, this may devastate your well-drafted and well-thought-out estate plan (designed to protect your heirs).

WHAT IS A TRANSFER ON DEATH (TOD) FORM?

In recent years, the financial industry has followed suit with the banking industry by introducing the option for clients to designate beneficiaries on their accounts using Transfer on Death (TOD) forms. This method can significantly simplify the estate planning process by allowing specific accounts to bypass probate and go directly to named beneficiaries.

WHEN IS A TOD HELPFUL?

Whether it’s for a spouse, child, or another heir, adding a TOD designation can seem like an efficient shortcut.

However, while TOD forms can be convenient for straightforward asset transfers, they often pose significant risks when not used carefully, particularly for larger or more complex estates. Many financial institutions offer these forms without detailed guidance, potentially leading clients to make decisions that could undermine a wellstructured estate plan.

For instance, a TOD form will supersede wills and trusts, immediately transferring ownership upon death. This can unintentionally bypass important protections and provisions you’ve set up through more comprehensive estate planning instruments like trusts.

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF TOD

Imagine a person, let’s call them Bob, who has created a comprehensive estate plan, including a trust. The trust is designed to manage and gradually distribute Bob’s assets to their children, providing financial support for

education, housing, and other expenses. The trust also includes specific clauses to protect the assets from potential creditors of the beneficiaries and any claims from divorces.

Bob, however, also fills out a TOD form for a significant brokerage account, designating their child, Sam, as the direct beneficiary. Upon Alex’s passing, the brokerage account is immediately transferred to Sam, bypassing the trust entirely. This immediate transfer means that the money in the brokerage account does not receive the protective benefits of the trust—such as creditor protection and managed distributions—potentially exposing the assets to risks Bob intended to avoid with the trust.

CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE FILLING OUT A TOD

Before filling out a TOD form, it is crucial to consult with an estate planning attorney. They can help you understand how such a designation might impact your overall estate strategy, particularly in relation to taxes, succession plans, and the needs of your beneficiaries. An attorney can also offer guidance on whether alternative estate planning tools might better serve your long-term objectives, ensuring that your assets are managed and distributed following your wishes without unexpected legal complications.

Remember, while a TOD form is just one piece of the puzzle in estate planning. Make sure it fits perfectly with the rest of your plan before you sign.

It was a natural evolution for Debbi to go into the real estate industry. Her Mom and Dad owned a very successful real estate company in Tallmadge Ohio, Debbi’s hometown, which her brothers and nephews still own and operate today! Her parents vacationed and owned property on Marco Island, so when Debbi was old enough to venture out on her own, she made it clear that she preferred sand to snowflakes. She’s been in Naples since 1974 and following in her parent’s footsteps, she was licensed in 1983. She has spent her entire real estate career in Naples Florida and has been selling and marketing homes in and around the Old Naples and Aqualane Shores neighborhoods for over 38 years. Imagine the changes she’s seen?

MALINCHE MEXICAN CUISINE

Where We Come From: My name is Jorge Salazar Lopez. I am originally from Tlaxcala Mexico. At the age of 21, in 2003, I came to the United States of America. My first job was in fast food for around 4 years and after that, I worked for several more restaurants. Since then, the passion of the food started growing in my heart. I knew that Mexican cuisine needs more than crunchy tacos. Years later in 2012 , I met my wife Mara who was the motivator of my dreams.

We opened a successful Mexican restaurant in Saint Louis, Missouri in 2017 which we sold in 2021 and then moved to southwest Florida.

Now in 2022 , my wife Mara, my brother Antonio and I, decided to open a new concept of cuisine in southwest Florida…Authentic Mexican cuisine. Based on our cultures from the Aztec and Mayans from central and southern Mexico, these cultures made a fabulous fusion of new and authentic food for this part of Florida.

Our Mission

To Serve the Best Authentic Mexican Food where Our Guests’ Satisfaction is the Priority

What does FINE Magazine think?: The family is definitely succeeding in their mission and vision! Malinche does have the FINEST of authentic Mexican cuisine. Their ingredients are the freshest and best available, and when put into any of their 40-50 dishes, they are not to be denied as the BEST! Furthermore, the staff is nothing less than wonderful and accommodating and Jorge & Antonio are hands-on owners. He knows those who frequent Malinche and there is so much warmth. They have live music, which is awesome on the weekends as well! Aside from the best food and most inviting atmosphere, their prices are so reasonable. You will never leave hungry…in fact, there is always a take home box with us!!

If ratings are based on a 1-5 FINE MAGAZINE gives them a solid 5

In fact, my wife and I will only do Mexican dining at Malinche!

We encourage you to visit and my personal favorites are the tinga and pastor tacos.

Our Vision

To Be #1 Authentic Mexican Cuisine in All of Southwest Florida.
