[WSBAPT] Drafting Input/Reality Check

[Joshua McKarcher]

I would do the wills ONLY, no TODDs at all, and I would ensure I have carefully provided for the various scenarios of one dying with or before the parents. (NOT, “We will change the wills then.” “Not if you don’t have capacity, you won’t!”)

I just firmly believe TODDs are useful for single people with one single heir at law who in turn maybe has one single descendant. But I’m a twit that way.

Best, Josh

Subject: [WSBAPT] Drafting Input/Reality Check


Hey!  I hope everyone is warm.  I am preparing the estate planning documents for a married couple with two sons.  One parcel goes to one son and one parcel goes to the other son.  I plan on using transfer on death deeds for the parcels but I ask this listserv if I should also put the specific bequests for the parcels in the parent’s Wills?  Is it belt and suspenders overkill to prepare TODDs and put the bequest in the parent’s Wills.
