Your estate plan doesn't need to be complicated, experts say, but it does need to be done properly so that your wishes will be carried out.
However, upon your death, your heirs who inherit those assets get a "step-up in basis." In other words, the market value of the asset at your death becomes the cost basis for the heir — which generally means any appreciation prior to that is untaxed. And when the heir sells the asset, any gains are based on the new cost basis.
If you want your kids to receive money but don't want to give a young adult — or one prone to poor money management or other concerning behaviors — unfettered access to a sudden windfall, you can consider creating a trust to be the beneficiary of a particular asset.
