Would $23,000 Make a Difference to You?

 

On a Personal Note...

We are continuing our Long Island Fall Festival tour. We picked some more apples and this time we added some sunflowers and pumpkins. With the weather in the 80s it doesn't quite feel like fall yet but I bought these long sleeve apple picking shirts so needless to say my kids were hot!


Mondays for Moms: Approximately one in seven Americans has some form of forgotten property owed to them, amounting to between $50 billion and $70 billion nationwide.

🙋Most people don’t have their finances organized and inventoried, and that leaves their families in the dark after they die. The families are left crossing their fingers and hoping they find everything. 🤞 If not, your assets will end up with the government, in your state’s Department of Unclaimed Property. 😯 That’s your hard-earned money, just sitting there waiting to be claimed! 

✅ But there’s an easy way to ensure your assets are inventoried and never lost

WEEKLY FAQ: What is unclaimed property?


Answer: Unclaimed property refers to forgotten assets that are turned over to the government, often when someone dies and doesn't leave information about their accounts. Could your family access your assets if you were no longer here? If not, your hard-earned money will be handed over to the government; it’s the law. This is called “unclaimed property,” and it can be a major issue without proper estate planning.

Our Purpose...

 

There is a lot to know about estate planning and the laws are always changing.  As an attorney that dedicates her practice solely to estate planning, I still learn new things or come into contact with new scenarios all the time.  So where does that leave you?

 

This newsletter has been designed to educate you about estate planning one piece at a time. Each Monday I will share some knowledge…not all at once or in a large mouthful, but in small doses so you can digest the information.

 

TO MY EXISTING CLIENTS – I hope this information is a refresher and gives you confidence knowing I am still available to answer any questions.  Our team is here to support you and your loved-ones at each stage of life’s journey. As a reminder, if something in your life shifts, please do not hesitate to reach us even if you’re unsure it will change anything. If not, I look forward to your three year review!

 

TO MY OTHER READERS - My hope is that one day soon you push past procrastination and get the peace of mind you will achieve by creating your estate plan! If you have questions about today’s topic or would like to discuss your specific needs, schedule a FREE Consultation by calling (631) 371-3861.  We’re ready when you are!
