One very important aspect of planning for the future is to take time
to consider your overall financial and estate plans. Many people never get around
to making a will or other estate plan, for example, and that's a real shame because
so many good things can come out of the planning process -- not the least of which
is your own peace of mind.
If you are ready to consider making or reviewing your estate plan,
consider using the four "P's" as a simple guide. Before going to visit your attorney
and/or other professional advisor, take time to list the following:
PEOPLE: Who are all the people in your life who depend on you
or whom you might want to remember in your plans? Spouse, children, grandchildren,
other relatives, friends and loved ones come to mind.
PROPERTY: What are the various properties you own that together
make up your estate? List real estate, insurance, annuities, mortgages held, automobiles,
furniture, etc. Make a note of the cost of each, the estimated current value and
any income or debt involved.
PLANS: How would you like to match your properties to the people
you have listed? Be sure to include any plans you have to remember your charitable
interests, such as USA Water Polo.
PLANNERS: Who are the people you will need to talk with to complete
your plan? Remember to list your attorney, insurance agent, broker, trust officer,
certified financial planner and perhaps others.
Once you have been through this process, you are ready to put it all
together. We at USA Water Polo would be most honored to be a part of your future
plans. If you would like more information about us, or if we can help in any way,
please feel free to call or e-mail Christopher Ramsey at 714.500.5445 . Thank you for your consideration of USA Water
Polo.
