Speaker 1: Welcome into another edition of Retirement Planning Redefined with John and Nick, financial advisors at PFG Private Wealth. And Nick is off again on this episode as we have Nicole Cleland joining us again to follow up with a Q&A conversation, some questions and answers about the probate conversation we just had on our prior podcast. So John's going to jump in and toss out some of the most frequently asked questions that these guys get when dealing with this. And of course, if you need some help, go and check them out online at legacyprotectionlawyers.com. That's legacyprotectionlawyers.com. We'll have a link in the show descriptions along with John and Nick at pfgprivatewealth.com. But first, Nicole, welcome back. Nicole Cleland: Thanks for having me. Speaker 1: Absolutely. Great stuff last time, so thanks for being here. And of course, John, thanks for being here, buddy. John: Yeah, yeah. Having a good time here. School year started for the kids, which has been fun. So kids are excited to go back to school. I'm sure parents are a little excited too to have their own little break, but all is good. Speaker 1: For sure. Well, we had some good response to the prior podcast episode, and so you guys deal with this stuff a lot. Obviously you guys work as a team as well. And so what are some of those top questions, John? I know you got a couple we want to cover on this episode, so take it away. John: Yeah. So one question I get from clients and some stuff I'm curious on. So one is, and we try to avoid this by doing proper planning upfront, but Nicole, what happens if someone doesn't have a will, or there's no beneficiary listed on an account, or it's not listed correctly? Nicole Cleland: Yeah, so if someone dies what we call intestate, so they had not signed a will prior to their passing, then we have to look to Florida law, Florida's intestacy statutes to find who their intestate heirs are. And the idea behind the law is to reflect what most people would naturally want. And if you think about it under Florida intestacy laws, if you're survived by a spouse, then usually 100% goes to the spouse. If no spouse then to your children, if no children are descendants, then it goes back up to parents and then out to siblings. Obviously with blended families, stepchildren, half siblings, that can vary a little bit, but Florida law tries to reflect what most people would had intended had they created a will themselves. John: Okay. So in essence, the courts try to make their best effort to do who gets what? Nicole Cleland: Well, not the courts so much as the law. J

Speaker 1: This week on Retirement Planning - Redefined, let's talk about navigating Florida probate and all that comes with that with John, and Nicole is joining us from Legacy Protection Lawyers.

We're swapping him out with Nicole, which is going to be fun because Nicole's going to talk to us about navigating Florida probate and she's just peppier than Nick, so we're just going to have fun talking with her. How you doing, Nicole? John Teixeira: Just a little peppier. Nicole Cleland: I'm doing good. Thanks for having me. Excited to be here today. Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for joining us.

And we'll have links in the descriptions if you guys want to reach out if you have some questions to legacyprotectionlawyers.com, we'll have a link in there that you can follow up with, of course, along with the guys as well for the financial side of things. So let's jump in and talk about navigating Florida probate. I know it sounds a little boring and a little worrisome, but it's also important stuff, Nicole. So let's get you rolling in there a little bit with some places to start. What's a good place to start with this? Just the pre-filing diligence, determining what it is that you have and need? Nicole Cleland: Yeah, exactly. So when someone passes away and we're looking at what type of administration might be needed, I usually suggest to clients to really take the time to look at the whole picture. Sometimes you find one asset where you feel like you might need to jump in and go ahead and handle that, but sometimes I think it behooves a lot of people to take a step back, make sure you have your arms around everything before really jumping into one of the options. And the reason why is some people may have gone through experience personally. You might go down one road and find the facts have changed a little bit and now you're leading down a different road. And that can lead to delays and expenses, and it really helps to really take the time to assess everything. Read the estate plan, what are the assets, what are the debts, and then go from there. Speaker 1: Gotch

I was telling Nick earlier, I started trying to give my kids something to do this summer, and I have them working out, because they want to get better at gymnastics, so I put together a program and told them it was time they learn a language.

Absolutely. What about you, Nick, buddy? You doing all right this week? Nick: Yeah. Yeah. I have visitors in from out of town for a bit, so that's always fun, but they're easy. We've been having a good time enjoying the new house. Marc: Well, you're a good guy in that regard. You were saying it's going to be a bit that they're staying. See, I was brought up with the rule and I live by the rule of, house guests and fish, same timeline, three days. After three days, they've got to go. John: Nick is having home-cooked meals I think daily, and I think they're just helping out around the house, so he's probably very comfortable right now. Marc: Okay. Nice. Nice. Nick: Yeah. There is a net gain in the scheme of things for me. Marc: Okay. All right. Fair enough. Nick: Yeah. Marc: That adds to the equation, right? Nick: It definitely helps. It definitely helps.
