A GoGo Estate Standard Plan helps families efficiently transfer wealth from one generation to the next.
If you are concerned about efficiently transferring wealth from one generation to the next, a GoGo Estate Standard Plan may be right for you.
Each Standard Plan includes a Revocable Living Trust, which helps you plan for any unexpected life events (such as incapacity).
If you utilize the Standard Plan fully, your family can avoid the costly and time-consuming probate process with a Revocable Living Trust.
Revocable Living Trusts preserves assets for future generations. That's why so many GoGo Estate customers purchase a Standard Plan.
The Revocable Living Trust Instrument dictates how your trust operates, contains provisions for distribution of assets, transfers assets into trusts for your kids, and much more.
This type of Will is known as a "Pour Over Will," and states that the terms of your estate plan are dictated by the Revocable Living Trust Instrument.
Also known as a "Health Care Directive" or "Living Will," this directive outlines your end-of-life care planning. It tells family and friends whether to "pull the plug."
Your Durable Health Care Power of Attorney (POA) covers your health care needs, including hiring and firing doctors, organ donation, and end-of-life care.
A Durable General Power of Attorney allows someone else to act on your behalf regarding finances, personal care, and other needs.

Technically, trusts don't exist until they are "funded." This means that you have to transfer your assets into trust. Luckily, GoGo Estate gives you the tools to do this with our helpful guides and explanations.
A trust is an estate planning arrangement whereby you transfer ownership of your assets to someone else (known as the trustee) for the benefit of another person (known as the beneficiary). During life, the person who creates a trust will be both trustee and beneficiary. If they become incapacitated, or pass away, someone else steps in as Trustee and their kids (or whomever they select) become the beneficiaries).
The type of Trust Plan offered by GoGo Estate is a Revocable Living Trust. This means that you have the power, during your life, to amend or rescind the Trust at any time. If after a few years you don't feel your Trust is necessary, you can simply get rid of it at any time.
A Trust is a life-planning tool whereas a Will only comes into effect after your death. While both plans help to designate who will receive your property and assets, Trusts have the added benefit of planning for any unexpected challenges life might throw at you. Trusts also avoid Probate, meaning your Beneficiaries receive their assets quicker than those receiving under a Will. Trusts also have the added benefit of protecting your assets from creditors of your Beneficiaries.
Trusts do not exist unless they own property. This means that you will be required to place property in your Trust, or designate your Trust as beneficiary to your property, so that your Trust Plan functions properly. While this may seem daunting, GoGo Estate gives you the tools and resources needed to "Fund" your Trust.
GoGo Estate provides you with detailed instructions on how to sign your trust on the first page of your document. You can also find these instructions in Customer Guides.
Probate is the court-based process for distributing assets after your death. Probate leaves you at the mercy of the courts and opens your estate up to the public. Trusts, on the other hand, are completely private.
Depending on the court and complexity of the estate, Probate may require your Beneficiaries to wait over 2 years to inherit from you.
