Transferring wealth & wisdom from generation to generation

A CRITICAL DECISION IN ESTATE PLANNING: TO FUND OR NOT TO FUND YOUR TRUST
Imagine your revocable trust as an empty box. Funding is the equivalent of placing your valuable assets inside the box to safeguard them for the future. This is achieved by renaming (retitling) ownership of an asset from yourself to the box’s manager (trustee). In certain situations, not funding your trust can be as crucial as funding it.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO FUND YOUR TRUST(S)?
As an estate planning client, you can expect your attorney to discuss funding when you sign your new or updated Florida trust documents. Many estate planning practitioners advise that you must fund your trust upon its creation and continually as you acquire new assets. And it makes sense. Why have a trust if you’re not going to fund it? However, this sentiment is far from true.
Make sure to evaluate closely whether to fund your trust, as the decision can significantly impact your estate planning strategy. In some cases, delaying trust funding can serve as an asset protection and wealth preservation tool, especially when you are in a relationship where you want your surviving spouse to have full discretion over the assets.
Let’s explore the reasons for and against funding your trust and how your specific circumstances play a crucial role in this decision.
REASONS TO DELAY TRUST FUNDING (CONS FOR FUNDING)
1. Asset Protection: If you are married, and your goals align with your spouse’s, or you are comfortable with your spouse deciding how to distribute assets upon their death (also referred to as second death), delaying trust funding may make sense. Keeping assets in joint names as tenants by the entireties in Florida can offer protection from creditors in case of unforeseen liabilities, such as a car accident, lawsuit, or bankruptcy. Placing these assets into your revocable trust while you are alive may expose them to creditors.
2. Administrative Burden: If you fund your revocable trust and then pass away, your surviving beneficiary will be responsible for administering the trust annually. If you don’t mind your survivor having complete control, you may prefer to have the assets pass outside of the trust directly to the survivor by operation of law through joint tenancy or beneficiary designation.
REASONS TO FUND YOUR TRUST (PROS FOR FUNDING)
1. Minimizing Probate: If you are single, carefully funding your trust(s) now or selecting beneficiary designations can help minimize the probate process and ensure your assets pass to your intended trust beneficiaries. This can streamline the transfer of assets and reduce administrative hassles for your heirs.
2. Second Marriage or Alternative Relationship: If you are in a second marriage or alternative relationship and have children or heirs different from your significant other’s heirs, it’s advisable to fund your trust either now or through beneficiary designations. This ensures that your assets pass to your intended trust beneficiaries, minimizing the risk of disputes or unintended beneficiaries.
3. Identical Goals with Spouse: If you are married and share identical goals and desires with your spouse regarding the distribution of your assets, funding your trust(s) now may be less essential. In such cases, holding assets as “tenants by the entireties” in Florida can offer certain advantages for asset preservation.
CONCLUSION
The drafting of your trust is just one part of the estate plan. Understanding the complexity of the funding question is the art of estate planning, as it entails making choices that can significantly affect how your wealth is protected throughout your lifetime.
Remember that tax issues and considerations related to irrevocable trusts are beyond the scope of this article, and it’s advised to discuss step-up in basis planning and irrevocable trust advantages with your estate planning advisors for a comprehensive strategy.

When it comes to increasing the value of your real estate, a few strategic remodeling projects can make all the difference. Whether you’re preparing to sell or just want to enhance your living space, here are three key upgrades that pay off in both appeal and resale value.
1. BATHROOM UPDATE A fresh, modern bathroom is a major selling point. Simple upgrades like replacing outdated fixtures, re-tiling the shower, or adding a double vanity can transform the space. Consider energy-efficient options, like low-flow toilets and LED lighting, for added savings. Even small updates, like new hardware or a fresh coat of paint, can give your bathroom a spa-like feel, attracting potential buyers.
2. KITCHEN FACELIFT A full kitchen remodel can be costly, but a facelift offers a budget-friendly way to increase your home’s value. Repainting cabinets, adding modern hardware, upgrading appliances, and installing new countertops can breathe new life into the space. Buyers love a well-designed, functional kitchen that looks up-to-date, without the need for a full overhaul.
3. FLOORING AND LIGHTING Upgrading your home’s flooring and lighting throughout the house can tie everything together. Hardwood floors or high-quality tile can create a modern, cohesive look. Coupled with updated lighting fixtures that offer energy efficiency, these simple touches can make your entire home feel brighter and more inviting.
Investing in these remodeling projects is a smart way to boost your home’s appeal and value, especially in a competitive market. Whether you focus on a bathroom update, a kitchen facelift, or other modern touches, these changes can offer a solid return on investment.

Naples and Bonita Springs have received glowing reviews from various publications in recent months including the best place to live in the country, the best beach town, and the safest city to live in the country. These articles coming in the wake of Hurricane Ian shows both the resilience and allure of Southwest Florida while the area returns to normal. Included in this return to normal is the local real estate market. As of the end of August, there was a six-month supply of homes and condos on the market in the Naples/ Bonita Springs area. This represents a balanced market, not a seller's market nor a buyers' market (see following page).
As we approach year end, sales activity has picked up and bolstered our optimism for a very strong sales season. Some conditions fueling our confidence:
· Hurricane Ian is two years removed and neighborhoods have recovered and improved.
· As market values have flattened out, so have property taxes. On average this year, taxes rose 1.6% in Collier County and 1.55% in Bonita Springs much better than the 41% jump in 2022 and 18.5% in 2023.
· After several years of significant insurance rate increases, many Florida insurers
experienced rate reductions at mid-year for the first time in 3 years.
· Both Bonita Beach ($14 Million) and Fort Myers Beach ($22 Million) will begin shoreline renourishment projects after turtle nesting season.
· We feel the recent significant rate drop by the Fed will be followed by another drop before year’s end, fueling real estate activity.
· The election will be over, along with uncertainty. (Hoo-Ray!)
Here at the Grant Group, sales are up 20% through 10 months, and we anticipate that percentage to grow in the 4th quarter. Please enjoy our recent edition of Profiles in Paradise offering a wide array of well-priced homes, condos, and building lots. Let’s have a great season!
