The Grantor's Guide: Effectively Passing Down Wealth - Ep. 92

Last week, we explored the considerations for inheritors, but this time, we shift our focus to the responsibilities and planning topics that grantors need to keep in mind. Many of our clients find themselves in both roles, so understanding both sides of the equation is crucial for effective financial planning.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The implications of disclaiming an inheritance and how it can affect your family dynamics.
• The importance of proactive versus reactive planning when it comes to passing down assets.
• Key questions grantors should consider, such as when to give assets and what to communicate to heirs.
• The concept of "impact arbitrage" and how timing your gifts can maximize their benefits.
• Strategies for managing different needs among heirs and ensuring they are prepared to handle their future inheritances.

As we approach the holiday season, this episode serves as a timely reminder of the importance of family discussions around wealth and legacy. We hope you find valuable insights that can help you navigate these complex topics.

As always, we encourage our listeners to reach out with any questions or ideas for future episodes at podcast@brownleewealthmanagement.com. Thank you for tuning in, and we look forward to bringing you more insightful episodes in the future.
