Estate Planning Interview with Steve Bliss

Meet the Reporter

Hello Moreno Valley! I’m Brenda Johnson reporting for KVCR News. Today, we’re speaking with renowned estate planning attorney, Steve Bliss of Moreno Valley Probate Law.

Taking Stock: Why Asset Inventory is Crucial

Steve, thank you so much for joining us today. Estate planning can seem overwhelming to many people. Where should someone begin?

“Brenda, it’s a pleasure to be here. You’re right, estate planning can feel daunting. But the first step is actually quite straightforward: take inventory of your assets.”

Steve explains that this involves creating a comprehensive list of everything you own. “This includes obvious things like real estate and vehicles, but also investments, bank accounts, retirement funds, personal belongings – even digital assets like online accounts and cryptocurrency.”

He emphasizes the importance of being thorough. “Not only does it help ensure your wishes are carried out accurately,” he notes, “but it can also reveal potential issues you might not have considered. For instance, an individual may discover they need to update beneficiary designations on insurance policies or retirement accounts.”

According to a recent study by Caring.com, 56% of Americans do not have a will or living trust in place. This highlights the critical need for clear asset documentation. Steve adds that a complete inventory can streamline the probate process and minimize stress for loved ones during an already difficult time.

“I recall one case where a client had neglected to update their beneficiary designations after a divorce,” Steve shares thoughtfully, “resulting in unintended complications. Fortunately, we were able to resolve the issue through careful legal maneuvering, but it underscored the importance of keeping those records current.”
