Authors: Nichole Huff

Estate planning can be a complicated process, especially when considering how to transfer personal property to people who will want and care for it after your death. The task of sorting through a lifetime of belongings can be overwhelming. It's natural to feel a range of emotions or to procrastinate on the task to protect yourself from feelings that may surface. You also may be worried about treating all heirs fairly and not hurting anyone's feelings as you make difficult decisions. Being mindful of family dynamics while estate planning requires you to delicately balance financial, emotional, and psychological considerations.

Transferring Cherished Possessions: What is Fair?

8/15/2022 (new)
Authors: Nichole Huff

As any parent, grandparent, or caregiver has experienced, the exclamation "But that's not fair!" has likely been voiced in your family on occasion. Similar sentiments also can be expressed when an estate is settled. This may happen if the will isn't clear or if it leaves the court or executor in charge of determining fairness. To avoid this, you will want to distribute your belongings in a way that minimizes potential conflict among your heirs.

Authors: Nichole Huff

Look around your home. You may have a table passed down to you from a grandparent or a well-worn baseball glove from an uncle. You may own sentimental jewelry, a treasured collection of keepsakes, or an antique that has been in your family for years. Have you ever wondered how you came to inherit these items? Were they given to you directly by a loved one, or did you receive them when the estate was settled after that person's death? Cherished possessions can provide a sense of comfort while grieving the passing of loved ones and can represent a continuation of their legacy for those who inherit the items.

In a world that constantly demands our attention, it is all too easy to become distracted while driving. From smart phones to smartwatches, interacting with something in our car, listening to a navigation system, or letting our minds wander behind the wheel, the temptations we often face when driving are endless.

Understanding Cryptocurrency

4/11/2022 (minor revision)
Authors: Nichole Huff, Kelly May

Cryptocurrency--such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, or others--is a form of digital payment consumers can use to buy goods and services. It exists without tangible corresponding bills or coins, and it is not issued or backed by government agencies. At its core, cryptocurrency is essentially digital computer software. People or entities can transfer it online without the need for a bank or financial institution. The currency is stored within a digital wallet that consumers can maintain either online or offline using a hard drive or paper printout.

Estate Planning Part 8: Planning Your Digital Estate

Authors: Alex Elswick, Nichole Huff

With so much vital information stored online, the nature of estate planning has changed. Although you may still have many important documents in paper format, it is likely that much of your financial documents are digitized. It may seem obvious that important digital information such as online bank accounts should be addressed in estate planning, but other kinds of digital assets such as social media accounts, text messages, or even pictures stored in the cloud may have sentimental value for your loved ones. Email accounts and online retail accounts may house critical personal information that you may wish securely kept. Unfortunately, planning for these kinds of assets is typically neglected by individuals and their advisors. In order to ensure the safety and security of this kind of digital information, you will want to create a digital estate plan.

Estate Planning Part 6: Trusts

4/7/2022 (revised)
Authors: Nichole Huff

A trust is a legal entity that a person creates. It can be a flexible and useful tool in estate planning and can be designed in a variety of ways. A trust provides financial benefits for people and/or organizations designated in the trust document. The document also provides the details and instructions for the trust. The trust document should be written by a professional who has experience in writing trusts and who is familiar with current trust laws. The tax consequences of trusts should also be considered; trusts do not save money for your estate in all situations.

Authors: Nichole Huff

Unless you have made other provisions, such as a trust, your will is the way to make certain that your property is transferred or disposed of according to your wishes. Your will is also the document that allows you to designate who will be responsible for seeing that your wishes are carried out. This person is known as the executor of your estate. If you fail to make a will or some other legal document for the transfer of your property, Kentucky law will determine how your assets are transferred.

Authors: Nichole Huff

The term financial planner is appearing with increasing frequency in advertisements (including unsolicited mail and social media) and news articles. The alphabet soup of financial planning credentials may lead you to believe that someone is a financial planner when in fact he or she is not. Some people who call themselves financial planners are nothing more than salespeople for stocks, tax shelters, insurance, and other investments and have no special training in financial planning. It is important to do your research before hiring someone to advise you financially, or to allocate or invest your financial assets.

Many students enter college not knowing what they want to study or what their career interests are. It is common for college freshmen and sophomores to have undeclared majors.

Selecting your major is something to be passionate about. You also have to have the aptitude. When making your final decision, consider the economic value of your major. How much can you earn?
