Scenario
Single Homeowner Building a First Plan
Einfache Erklärung
A first plan should connect the deed, mortgage, beneficiary-designated accounts, incapacity authority, and a practical administration path instead of assuming the home alone determines who inherits.
- A will does not keep the home out of probate
- A will does not avoid probate for a home titled only in the owner's name.
- Transfer-on-death deeds are not universal
- A transfer-on-death deed is not available or appropriate everywhere.
- Authority during life matters too
- Financial and health authority matter during life, not only at death.
