        ESTATE PLANNING DATA

 

 

 

            I (We) understand that this questionnaire is designed to provide Mark S. Davis, Attorney at Law with important information for estate planning purposes and that the firm's ability to advise clients with respect to lifetime and testamentary disposition of assets, with minimization of adverse tax consequences, depends on the accuracy of such information.  I (We) hereby confirm that such information is substantially correct.

INTRODUCTION

 

This form should be filled out as completely as possible, and forwarded to Mark S. Davis, Attorney at Law for review prior to a personal conference.  Although reasonable value approximations are acceptable, it is important to be certain of the identity of assets and how they are owned.  The form provides for identification of assets as owned solely by husband, solely by wife, as community property  or in joint tenancy.  However, please note where other conditions exist, such as tenancies in common or community property with rights of survival.

 

Prior to the conference, you also should consider (but need not answer on this form) the following questions, to the extent they are applicable to your situation:

 

            1.            Guardian for Minor Children.  If you have children under age 18, who would you want to serve as guardian to take care of them and see to their upbringing and education in the event of your death?  What about a successor guardian if the first doesn't act?  Would you want the same individuals to manage their property?

 

            2.          Personal Representative/Executor.  Who would you want to be the personal representative/executor of your will?  This is the person or bank in charge of paying final debts and taxes and distributing your estate as directed in your will.

 

            3.            Trusts and Trustees.  Trusts often are utilized for tax savings and asset management, either as part of a will, or in addition to a will.  If trusts are appropriate for you (and trusts might be of long-term duration), who would you want to be the trustee (or co-trustees):  A bank?  An individual such as your spouse, brother or sister, child or friend?  A combination of a bank and an individual?  Who would be the successor trustee if the initial trustee fails or ceases to act?

 

            4.          Specific Gifts.  Do you wish to provide in your estate plan for cash gifts, or gifts of other specific property, to individuals or charity?  If so, you should make a list of such individuals and organizations, paying careful attention to exact given names, spellings and addresses.

 

            5.          Disaster.  If all members of your immediate family are deceased, to what individuals or charities should your assets be given?

   FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

            It is very important to complete this page.  We need to have your estimate of the approximate values of your assets, as well as the exact way they are owned (by either individual as community property or in joint tenancy).  Please give careful consideration to how each asset is owned.

 

            It is most desirable to have all of the following schedules completed, with totals carried back to this page, to assist us in considering the effects of lifetime and testamentary transfers and the tax consequences thereof.  However, if you are not able to complete all of the schedules, you nevertheless should complete this page.

 

             Provide estimated current values, in multiples of $1,000.
