Solutions Leading to Long-Lasting
Satisfaction |
| The three principles of effective estate planning are: (1)
satisfactory settlement of inheritance (legacy division);
(2) manageable tax payments (through appropriate financing
for tax payments including payment-in-kind); and (3) tax savings.
The priority order of the three principles should be in the
order as they have been stated. Tax savings come last. We
suggest plans with a long-term perspective, considering not
only the first inheritance but also the second inheritance,
and pay attention to the varied impacts such events could
possibly have on inheritors (i.e., family members) with respect
to their living and financial conditions, among others. Estate
planning will be more effective when it is conducted before
inheritance processes are started, and the longer the preparation
period becomes, the easier it will be to assure the efficacy
of a plan. Therefore, we would recommend early consultation
if you are concerned about inheritance issues. |
