The Logic Behind the Tool
Here is the logic breakdown:
- Loss Aversion Model: The logic behind this tool uses a Loss Aversion model.
- Estate Value Calculation: Sums home equity and liquid assets.
- Probate Cost Estimate: Calculated at a conservative 5% of the total estate value (national averages range from 3%–7%).
- Time-to-Transfer Logic: Compares a standard 12–18 month probate timeline against the 0–1 month immediate transfer provided by a Living Trust.
- The “Net Legacy” Result: Shows the final amount the family actually receives after the “Court Tax” is taken out.
