Transferring wealth & wisdom from generation to generation

Edward E. Wollman, JD, LL.M W O L L M A N , G E H R K E & A S S O C I A T E S , P. A .

What Makes a GREAT ESTATE PLAN? In a nutshell, the key elements that hold an effective estate plan together are teamwork, collaboration, and communication.

With that in mind, you are only as strong as your weakest link. Estate planning is an interactive process with mutual accountability. The most successful clients take an active role, delegate control, show a desire to understand and self-educate.

OUR ESTATE PLANNING MODULES: Our firm has designed a Seven Module Estate Planning Process that begins with financial planning and ends with charitable giving. As shown in the graphic below, each module is simply a piece of the estate planning puzzle, and each component complements the others

We will also discuss the importance of measuring your team’s performance and making adjustments as needed. What are the best benchmarks and metrics to review and evaluate your team to make the appropriate shifts throughout the planning process?

3. Risk Management Often clients ask what the differences are between things like risk management, asset preservation, or estate & financial planning. The industries can do a better job explaining these differences, however, it is important to also note the commonalities between each area of expertise.

We will break down the different elements each team member may be responsible for, as well as the products and services that each offers.

4. Core documents and essential components to a comprehensive plan While estate planning can be complicated and even cumbersome at times, there are a small number of items that make up the backbone or the core of your plan. These are your six primary estate planning documents that spell out your wishes for the future and establish clear instructions for the others that will potentially be involved in decision making on your behalf.

In addition to the core documents, we will discuss ancillary matters including but not limited to umbrella insurance, long term care insurance, and family law documents such as post-nuptials and pre-nuptial agreements.

We will also address the use of the separate writing for the disposition of your tangible personal property. Finally, we will discuss the appropriateness of a letter of intent, bible/roadmap, ethical will, and funding instructions for implementation.

5. Customization of Trusts Many times, a trust or multiple trusts are critical components of a successful estate plan. While there are many best practices available, as well as the most common trusts, choosing the appropriate trust structure for your situation is key to taking your plan to the next level.

SIX KEY COMPONENTS OF A GREAT ESTATE PLAN:

1. Building a Road Map for Estate Planning and Financial success A great estate plan begins with organization and clear direction. While it is essential to have your six basic estate planning documents completed, a superior estate plan encompasses your complete financial picture. This picture includes all aspects of how you wish to build a secure financial future for you and your loved ones.

2. Team building: Original building of team One common factor across many of our successful case studies is the coordination with a proactive team of advisors. After building your estate and financial planning team, you must develop a strategy to create the glue for the team.

Who leads the team? Who organizes the team meetings? Who is responsible for creating communication between the team members?

Choosing the right team members can be a defining factor in the effectiveness of your planning process. Some of the critical factors to look for are: credentials, personal style, cohesive fit, ability to communicate.

Some of the items to consider are as follows: traditional vs. alternative trust provisions, unitrust, special needs trust, total discretionary trust, hybrid trust.

We will also review the use of powers of appointment and trust protector provisions.

These custom trust structures allow for greater flexibility and control.

Customization will allow you to make more explicit decisions that provide greater protection for your heirs.

6. Legacy component While last on our checklist, the legacy component is undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of your plan. Many clients feel that they will deal with charitable giving as they go, on an annual basis, rather than incorporate it into their estate plan. However, charitable giving during your lifetime can provide enormous income tax savings that you may otherwise lose at the time of your passing.

A combination of multiple charitable giving techniques including cash gifts, planned gifts, including gifts to a donor-advised fund both during your lifetime and upon your death will supercharge your estate plan.

welcome to MARCO ISLAND

Marco Island is the crown jewel of the Paradise Coast of Southwest Florida.

Here you will find a world-class resort destination on the Gulf of Mexico that is home to white, sugar-sand beaches, top notch dining and shopping, and outstanding golf courses both on Marco Island and in nearby Naples, all wrapped in a quaint, casual, laid-back atmosphere. To the south are the 10,000 Islands, inhabited only by a few small fishing villages and the stunning natural beauty of the 10,000 Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Big Cypress National Preserve and the 5,000 square mile Everglades National Park. Enjoy outstanding boating, fishing, kayaking, shelling and bird, dolphin and wildlife watching.

In recent years, Marco Island was named the #1 island in the United States

by TripAdvisor® and was 4th on their list of the top 10 islands in the world.

For the fourth year in a row, the Naples-Marco Island area won the top spot in the country from the Gallup National Health Index survey for happiness and health. Our residents can certainly attest to the wonderful sense of well-being that comes when driving over the Jolley Bridge and seeing Marco Island sparkling in front of you.

Not just a vacation destination, Marco Island is home to about 16,500 year-round residents. At 4 miles wide by 6 miles long, the island is home to almost as many miles of waterways as it has roads. During our high winter season, the island population more than doubles with the influx of parttime residents, snow birds and vacationers escaping cold weather. With our dependable sunshine, warm Gulf water and mild winter temperatures, it is no wonder that visitors return year after year.

Considering buying or selling on Marco Island?

Whether you are looking for a vacation home, investment property or permanent residence, Marco Island offers a wide range of properties and price ranges, from a simple, stress free condominium to the most luxurious beach or waterfront estate. There are different neighborhoods that satisfy depending on if your preference is to be close to the beach or have great boating access or to be more family orientated and close to schools and parks.

If Marco Island is the crown jewel of the Paradise Coast, then Hideaway Beach and Cape Marco are the two gems that anchor the spectacular crescent beach. At the southern tip, Cape Marco offers stunning condominium residences just steps from the pristine beach with stunning Gulf views and spectacular sunsets. On the north end of the island, Hideaway Beach is a tranquil, lush, 314-acre gated enclave of homes, villas and condominiums with a peaceful, unparalleled lifestyle and the only direct beach front, single family homes on the island. Residents here enjoy the private Hideaway Beach Club that features casual and fine dining, a challenging 9-hole golf course, outstanding tennis and fitness facility and 2 miles of pristine beach.

What does your piece of Paradise look like? Dream it and come find it on Marco Island.

It features 2 beds, 2 updated baths, an opened-up granite kitchen, tile floors, and brand new impact windows. South Seas is a gated community with amenities and a rare combination of beach and boat docks.
