U.S.-Israel Estate Plan Shortcuts
Some people try to take a shortcut to U.S.-Israel estate planning. They may assume that by completing U.S.-Israel estate planning documents online, they and their heirs will be protected while they will save money by not using a professional legal professional. This is an unfortunate fallacy because a one-size-fits-all approach to U.S.-Israel estate planning can cause more problems than it solves.
Such a service can put you at risk of a conflict between the varying laws of Israel, the United States and the individual state in which you plan to file your U.S.-Israel estate plan. You will not protect your heirs in case of creditor debt or a divorce which may cause your inheritors to suffer through years of future legal battles. You may put surviving minors or special needs individuals at risk of losing government benefits which could end if they become the beneficiary of outside income.
In short, there are numerous ways that trying to do your U.S.-Israel estate plan through a cheap or short service will, in the long run, jeopardize the way that you want to plan your estate.
