00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:37.079
Well, good afternoon, Michiganders. Today is Tuesday, June twenty fourth,

2
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.920
twenty twenty five, and of course this is Tuesday with Tom,

3
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.240
Michigan's only podcast where we talk about your estate, planning,

4
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.039
estate settlement.

5
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.320
And everything in between.

6
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.320
I'm your host, Tom Doyle, a state planning attorney, lifelong

7
00:00:53.399 --> 00:01:00.560
Michigander and your guide to planning for your future. Just

8
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.680
a brief recap of our last episode. What happens to

9
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.480
your digital assets when you die? So many of us

10
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.480
today are very tied to digital assets. We've got our

11
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.680
email accounts, we've got our online banking accounts, we say

12
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.319
photos online, do all kinds of things with what are

13
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.760
considered digital assets. It's important for you to understand what

14
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:35.079
happens to those assets when you die and what planning

15
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.879
opportunities you have for them. So I encourage you listen

16
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.359
to my last episode.

17
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.560
But today a.

18
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.239
Topic that oftentimes comes up when meeting with clients, and

19
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:55.359
we want to talk about why older Americans may be

20
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.799
better off staying.

21
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.480
On married.

22
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.799
That's right for many people in their sixties and their seventies,

23
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:10.120
loving companionship are alive and well, but marriage isn't always

24
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.479
the best legal or financial.

25
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.120
Choice at this stage of life.

26
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.840
So let's talk about why that is and what options

27
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:32.240
are available. All right, so let's start with some of

28
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.719
the financial consequences of remarriage. And again let's just be

29
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.840
clear at the beginning of today's podcast, I am not

30
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.039
I am not discouraging you from being married, but I

31
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.479
think it's important when you are older for you to

32
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.240
think about a number of these things I'm going to

33
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.159
talk about today in light of the decisions that you

34
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.879
are looking at making and getting married. So financial consequences

35
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:07.120
of remarriage, well, for older adults, remarriage can bring unintended

36
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:08.800
financial consequences.

37
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.080
It might end up affecting pensions.

38
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.159
Or survivor benefits from a former spouse. So if you're

39
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.280
receiving a pension from a former's spouse or some survivor

40
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.759
benefits and you get married, you need to understand what

41
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.719
effect that remarriage will have, if any, on that pension

42
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.759
that you're receiving or those survivor benefits, survivor benefits including

43
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.879
things like social Security benefits.

44
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:40.960
You might be receiving.

45
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.439
Social Security benefits based upon a previous spouse's income, you

46
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.680
need to understand what effect that can have. If what

47
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:57.439
effect a remarriage might have on your continued receipt of

48
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.479
Social Security benefits, and it can in some cases trigger

49
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.000
higher taxes on Medicare premium surcharges.

50
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.639
So those are just some.

51
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:14.000
Of the financial consequences of a getting remarried, but so

52
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.360
many clients actually find that staying unmarried allows them to

53
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:28.680
maintain key benefits while still enjoying a committed relationship. Number

54
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:34.959
two Protecting family inheritance. Older adults often want to ensure

55
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:41.519
that their children and grandchildren receive their intended inheritance. So

56
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.319
the idea being I'm looking at getting married, but I

57
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.920
want to make sure that my estate doesn't go to

58
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.079
my new spouse's children. I want it to still go

59
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.079
to my children. Well, what you need to understand, and

60
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.720
this is certainly something that I've talked about before in

61
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:05.319
an number of podcasts. Marriage creates legal rights to each

62
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:11.680
other's estate, which can complicate in some places override earlier planning.

63
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:16.600
If one spouse passes away, the surviving spouse may have

64
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.720
rights to a larger share of the estate than intended.

65
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.920
So if the idea is I want my estate to

66
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.000
go to my kids, and when I die, my spouse

67
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.720
has certain rights to inherit from my estate, which might

68
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.480
actually be larger than my children. I need understand that

69
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:43.399
in looking at getting remarried, so that I understand what

70
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.240
my options are and what I need to do if

71
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.920
I in fact do get remarried. What options such as

72
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.839
waiver of spousal rights or prenuptial agreements, those sorts of agreements,

73
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.000
having them in place, perhaps having a trust in place.

74
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.519
Umber of things that one wants to look at if

75
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.000
they're in fact going to get remarried and they still

76
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:07.879
want to protect the family inheritance.

77
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:08.879
Now you can.

78
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.000
Still get remarried, provide for your new spouse, and have

79
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.800
your state go to kids. You might decide not to

80
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.959
get remarried, but you can still provide for your significant other.

81
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.079
You can have a trust perhaps that would provide benefits

82
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:30.160
for that for your significant other, while still making sure

83
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.040
that upon the death of that significant other that your

84
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.560
estate still goes to your children. So staying unmarried might

85
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:45.519
allow for clearer control in more predictable outcomes.

86
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.639
Number three, avoiding.

87
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.839
Long term care liability, And this is a big one

88
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.040
for so many clients, many many clients that we're looking

89
00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:02.000
at today going on Medicaid and they go into a

90
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:07.160
nursing home. What they often don't realize is that in marriage,

91
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:14.399
spouses may become legally responsible for each other's long term

92
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.560
care costs. So if one partner enters a nursing home,

93
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.000
these other's assets could be at risk. Why because the

94
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.519
government treats for Medicaid purposes everything that both spouses own

95
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.959
as being available to pay for that nursing home care.

96
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.519
And if you've paid any attention to the way that

97
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.240
Medicaid works, you have to spend down in a state

98
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.600
until you get to the point that the government says

99
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.040
that you will qualify for Medicaid. So if you're remarried,

100
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.000
your assets if your spouse goes into a nursing home

101
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:01.000
might have to be used to pay for long term

102
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:06.480
care costs for your spouse. But staying unmarried, though older adults,

103
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:11.759
can keep your finances separate and better protect assets for

104
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.720
themselves and your families, because if you're not married, the

105
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:21.439
government can only consider your assets. For example, if you're

106
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:30.199
looking at long term care situation Number four Simplified estate planning.

107
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:36.240
When couples remain unmarried, there are tools available to you

108
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.200
that are similar if you want them to be to

109
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.039
being married. You can have a will if you want

110
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.320
to and leave assets to your partner. You might have

111
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.720
a revocable living trust and use that trust again as

112
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.320
I explained above, to either support your partner or perhaps

113
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.279
provide some benefits to your partner. You can look get

114
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.320
using things like beneficiary designations. If you want assets to

115
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.399
go to your partner at the time of your death,

116
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.159
you can look at having beneficiary designations. Again, the whole

117
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.000
idea is because you're not married, you use these other

118
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:23.200
tools if you want to provide any benefits to your

119
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:28.080
partner at the time of your death, rather than having

120
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.879
to do what the State of Michigan says you have

121
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.919
to do under what would be our interstate laws. You

122
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.720
can look at powers of attorney. You want your partner

123
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:45.200
to be able to handle things if you become in capacitated.

124
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.559
You can do that with the power of attorney.

125
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.360
Or you want your partner to make medical decisions for you,

126
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.600
very common one that we will see with clients in

127
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.840
the situation as I'll say, well, I want to have

128
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.600
my partner make my medical decisions for me, Well, you

129
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.279
can do that in a healthcare power of attorney, and

130
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:08.759
then perhaps have the children as a backup to your partner.

131
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:13.279
So again you can utilize the state planning tools to

132
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.440
provide benefits for your partner similar to if you were married,

133
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:23.399
without having the consequences where you have to do things

134
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:29.519
that could impact your other family members. So these sorts

135
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.679
of state planning tools, if you will, allow you and

136
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:38.120
your partner to define what your rights and wishes are

137
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:45.879
without the default legal obligations that come with marriage. Number

138
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.919
five the importance of planning. And I talk about this

139
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.639
all the time in a state planning seminars the importance

140
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:57.840
of planning, So unmarried couple's good planning is even more critical.

141
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.120
Again because without a will or trust, the surviving partner

142
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.840
may inherit nothing when in fact you wanted them to

143
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.960
inherit something from you. Without powers of attorney, partner may

144
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.159
not be able to make medical or financial decisions for you.

145
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.000
And if you want them to, then.

146
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:16.679
You need to sure.

147
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:23.279
You need to assure that you've accomplished that through appropriate planning.

148
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.639
So if someone you know or love is in a

149
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.519
committed relationship later in life, have them talk to an

150
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.000
estate planning a try to make sure everything's in order.

151
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.759
Just give my dad as an example my dad after

152
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:44.679
my mom had passed. Eventually he had a new girlfriend.

153
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.480
That's what he would call her, even though it's always

154
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.360
an odd term to hear from your father when he's

155
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.960
later in life. But in having conversations, even with my

156
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.519
own father about whether or not he should ever consider remarrying,

157
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.720
had to go through all of these things, same discussion

158
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.240
that I'm having to you today. Now, I'll have clients. Look,

159
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.320
I had clients not that long ago. They came in

160
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:14.039
to see me after after they already announced to all

161
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.720
of their friends and scheduled the date for getting remarried.

162
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.879
So they are very concerned.

163
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.879
After I spoke with them about, oh my goodness, we

164
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.960
hadn't thought about these consequences of getting married, and in

165
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:31.759
particular the consequence relative to long term care paying for

166
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.360
someone to be in a nursing home. And they were like, well,

167
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.360
what do we do. We've already told our friends were

168
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.320
getting married. We've already got a date scheduled to g're

169
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.039
get married. We already have a minister coming in on

170
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.000
such and such a date to get married. I said, well,

171
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.240
don't worry about it. I said, go through the ceremony,

172
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.480
tell your friends you got married.

173
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.600
Say, I do, just.

174
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.799
Don't sign the marriage license. Don't do that. As far

175
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.120
as the State of Michigan is concerned. If you haven't

176
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:03.639
signed a marriage license, you are not married legally. So

177
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.679
your friends can think you're married if that's really important

178
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:11.039
to you, but just don't execute that license it. It

179
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.360
always reminds me to I had a client she was

180
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.679
in her eighties and she was thinking about getting remarried.

181
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.480
Lived in the Upper Peninsula.

182
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.679
So I had this whole conversation with her about remarriage

183
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.039
and all these things, much of what I've just talked

184
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.120
about today. And I said, so, do you have any

185
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.759
questions and she said, yeah, I've got one.

186
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.399
I said, what is it?

187
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.639
She said, well, if I get married now, do you

188
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:42.600
think it's going to be in the newspaper. I thought

189
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.480
about that for a minute, and I thought, well, you're

190
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:49.320
in a small town in the Upper Peninsula. I said, yeah,

191
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.639
that's likely going to show up in your newspaper, because

192
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.679
that's what small town newspapers do.

193
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.600
I said, why is that a problem.

194
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.840
She said, well, for the last twenty years, we have

195
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:06.759
told everybody that we're already married, including the country club,

196
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.480
and so we're treated as a married couple and pay

197
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.039
a certain fee to the country club as a married couple.

198
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.799
So her concern was that people would find out after

199
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:24.000
all of that time that in fact, they were not married.

200
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:27.120
I said, well, look, just don't get married. But you

201
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.600
can still tell your friends you're married if that's what

202
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.679
you want to do. And again, if you want to

203
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.600
have a ceremony, go have a ceremony. And if you

204
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:36.679
want to call it a wedding, call it a wedding.

205
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:42.320
But don't do the marriage license if that's what you

206
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.879
want to do. Now, I don't know if you don't

207
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.799
do a marriage license, is that local newspaper still going

208
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:49.759
to put something in there about you got married. I

209
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.279
guess you've got to figure that one out when you're

210
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.240
trying to make a decision what it is that you're

211
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.360
looking at doing.

212
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.960
But there's no doubt, no doubt.

213
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.919
Marriage is a beautiful institution, but it's not always the

214
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:09.759
right fit later in life. But with the right legal planning,

215
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:15.039
older adults can enjoy love, companionship, and peace of mind

216
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:50.320
while protecting their finances. Of course, Amanda and I would

217
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.039
be honored to meet with you if you're thinking about

218
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.600
getting remarried or if that is not an issue for you,

219
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.320
but we'd be honored to help you protect the people

220
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.399
that you love, whether that means creating a brand new

221
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.919
estate plan, updating and existing one, or guiding you through

222
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:13.480
the estate settlement process during a very difficult time. We

223
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.360
try to make it easy and convenient to get started.

224
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.360
We offer in person appointments both in our headquarters and

225
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:26.000
Grand Rapids and our location in Lansing. We offer virtual

226
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.679
consultations that be by phone or zoom wherever you happen

227
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:35.360
to be in this great state of Michigan. And we

228
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:40.840
have as always our legal Store that's available at our website.

229
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.440
So if all you need and for example, just yesterday,

230
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.440
someone contact us said, look, all I need is a

231
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:47.360
certificate of trust.

232
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.200
I'm trying to sell real estate. I need a certificate

233
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:50.639
of trust.

234
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.000
They were able to go to the legal store and

235
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:56.840
order a certificate of trust.

236
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.320
They didn't need to come in and see us and

237
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:01.879
make it as easy as possible.

238
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.680
So in the event that you need just individual documents,

239
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:11.319
