The Billion Dollar Mistake

On this episode, Jake and Gino show you how to avoid making “the billion-dollar mistake”. They throw the light on one of the biggest mistakes a whole-life insurance policy holder can make while they are alive, and that is- not having a plan in place for their own passing, and proper organization of their insurance documents. In the worst case, this mistake could even lead to your death benefit wasting away in an unclaimed funds account, while heirs are busy fighting for their rights over the property in the Estate. (A billion dollars goes unclaimed every year!) Preparing for the end of life is one of those things you know you should do — but have you actually sat down and done it? Probably not considering an estimated 67% of Americans have NO estate plan. That leaves only 33% who have taken the initiative to put a plan in place for when they die. Most people don’t know that you don’t have to have a lot of assets in order to establish rules around what happens when you die, or even to stipulate your preferences for end-of-life care, should you become incapacitated. Where do you even start and what exactly are your options?  We want to continue to spread awareness in the Jake & Gino Community, and remind people that creating an estate plan isn’t always complicated.
