Designate Beneficiaries:
Having a valid will in place isn't enough. Assets you pass on outside of your will are called non-probate assets. The include IRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, life insurance policies, and certain bank and brokerage accounts. If beneficiaries are properly set for these non-probate assets, ownership can transfer faster than your assets that must go through probate. Designate your beneficiaries.
Donate Crypto:
Crypto donations are generally considered by the IRS to be gifts of property (similarly to publicly-traded stocks). The process for claiming a tax deduction for crypto donations depends on the value of the deduction. If the value of your deduction is $500 or less, you can simply report the value of the charitable deduction on your annual income tax return filing. Donate your cryptocurrency.
