4. Distributes Wealth - a final comment



Ria and her estate saga continues today. As a singel woman without children, it is even more essentail for Ria to plan. We discussed yesterday that if Ria died without a will, her ailing parents would inherit her entire estate and all of Ria's assets might then end up being paid to a nursing home.

Today, let's assume Ria's parents are no longer in the picture. They predecease her. Then without a will, Ria's estate would go to her siblings including her estranged brothers. Is that what Ria wants? I don't think so.

Though Ria’s brothers are her heirs, she can decide, with estate planning, who inherits and who does not inherit her wealth. It is her choice, her decision, her plan. But she must take some action and plan!!

There is something to be said about creating a plan that gives you control of the distribution of assets accumulated through your ingenuity and labor. It is within Ria and everyone’s power to take control and plan now.
