Estate Planning Essentials with Adam D. Rubin, Esq., CPA | Host: Karan Murugesu, CFP®, ChFC®
Estate planning is about more than deciding who receives your assets after you're gone. It's about protecting your family, preserving your wishes, and ensuring the people you trust can make important decisions if you're unable to do so yourself.
In this episode of The Ameriwealth Show, Karan Murugesu welcomes Estate Planning Attorney and CPA Adam D. Rubin, Esq., for a comprehensive discussion on the fundamentals of estate planning. Together, they explore the differences between wills and trusts, the consequences of dying without a will, common estate planning mistakes, beneficiary designation planning, estate tax considerations, and the essential documents every family should have in place.
The conversation also addresses a frequently overlooked topic: estate tax planning for non-U.S. citizens, including H1B visa holders, H4 spouses, and permanent residents. Adam explains how estate tax rules differ for international professionals and why proactive planning is critical.
Listeners will walk away with practical action steps and a better understanding of how estate planning fits into a comprehensive financial plan.
