Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is the difference between a Last Will and a Power of Attorney? Do I need both?


A Last Will only determines what happens to your property after you have passed.
A Power of Attorney is used to appoint someone to manage your property and your medical care if you are incapable. It is no longer valid after death.
In some ways, having an Attorney who can protect you while you are still living is even more important that having a will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: How important is it to have a Will if you are in your 30s and don’t have many assets?


Having a Last Will is still important, even if you are young. There is no better way to provide for your family and your future.  

You can create a Last Will to plan ahead for a time when you have increased assets or a larger family. Now is always a good time, because your life is only going to get more hectic!

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Estate Tax



There are 3 basic ways in which most simple Estates may be required to pay taxes.

1.      If all or part of your state is being submitted to Probate, you'll need to pay what's called an Estate Administration Tax on that portion.

2.      If you have to sell property or shares in a corporation, your state may need to pay Capital Gains Tax on the proceeds from the sale of that property.

3.      Lastly your Estate will need to file a tax return for the year in which you die until your Estate is wrapped up and all of the money is paid out.
