Why is it Important for Your Loved Ones to Know Where Your Assets Are?

There are many reasons why it is important for your loved ones to know exactly where your wealth is after you pass on. One of the key reasons is because if your loved ones do not know where your assets are, it is possible that some of your money and property may be lost or go unclaimed. Recently, for example, ABC News reported that the family of a person who passed away found more than $15,000 in unclaimed funds. The money had become lost towards the end of their deceased relative’s life and, had they not taken steps to try to track down unclaimed assets, it might have been lost forever instead of being handed down to heirs or beneficiaries.

An other key reason why you want to make sure your loved ones know where your assets are is because your family could otherwise be forced to pay professionals to try to track down assets that should be part of your estate. Your loved ones could be forced to hire a forensic accountant to try to find out if there is missing money and assets. If missing assets are discovered, your family could be forced to hire a private investigator to try to discover where your money and property are.

All of these experts can cost a lot of money to hire, and this could significantly reduce the value of an estate that should be passed on to relatives. And, unfortunately, there is no guarantee that even experts will find all of the wealth you own. You do not want to put your family into a position where they miss out on inheriting some of your property or where they have to spend a fortune and go through a long and complicated process to get an inheritance. To make sure this does not happen, you should work with an experienced attorney to make a detailed accounting of all of your assets, to ensure your loved ones know where your wealth is, and to facilitate the timely transfer of assets to heirs or beneficiaries after you are gone.
