Using the Asset Inventory
The Asset Inventory allows you to add your major assets to your plan to help the executor of your will better handle your affairs and carry out your wishes. Including assets not distributed by your will can help determine if your estate may be subject to an estate tax.
Assets distributed by your will (probate)
- Bank accounts solely owned by you
- Real estate solely owned by you or by tenants in common
- Brokerage accounts solely owned by you
- Personal property or valuables
Assets NOT distributed by your will (non-probate)
- Jointly owned bank or brokerage accounts
- Jointly owned real estate or vehicles
- 401(k) accounts, pensions, IRAs, etc.
- Life insurance
