Presentar una petición de sucesión y llevar a cabo el proceso de sucesión tras la muerte de un ser querido tiene un costo. Este costo de sucesión varía de un estado a otro, pero las familias deben estar preparadas para gastar alrededor del 4 al 7% del valor del patrimonio del fallecido para cubrir estos gastos. Comprar una fianza de sucesión es uno de los muchos gastos asociados con el tribunal de sucesiones.
Entonces, ¿qué es una fianza de sucesión, por qué es importante que tu familia obtenga una al ejecutar el testamento de un ser querido en el tribunal de sucesiones y cuánto te costará? Sigue leyendo para obtener más información sobre estas fianzas esenciales.
Una fianza de sucesión, a veces llamada fianza fiduciaria, se utiliza durante un caso de sucesión para proteger a una familia contra cualquier posible conducta indebida por parte del albacea de un patrimonio. También puede usarse en un caso de sucesión con un administrador designado por el tribunal para supervisar la ejecución del testamento de una persona fallecida.
Idealmente, una familia no debería preocuparse por la posibilidad de que un albacea o administrador infrinja las leyes estatales relacionadas con el proceso de sucesión. Tampoco deberían tener demasiadas preocupaciones respecto a la posibilidad de que un albacea o administrador actúe en contra de los términos de un fideicomiso en vida o de los deseos de la persona fallecida documentados en su testamento.
Sin embargo, en el caso de que un albacea o administrador no cumpla con las responsabilidades para las que fue designado, aquellos que están en línea para heredar activos del patrimonio pueden presentar una reclamación ante la afianzadora que emitió la fianza de sucesión. Esta afianzadora puede reembolsar a cada beneficiario según los términos y condiciones originales de la fianza.
Existen varias situaciones en las que un tribunal de sucesiones podría no exigir que el albacea o administrador del patrimonio de una persona fallecida adquiera una fianza de sucesión. Por ejemplo, un tribunal generalmente no lo solicitará si los familiares de la persona fallecida acuerdan renunciar a esta fianza. Tampoco suele ser necesario si la persona fallecida no tenía deudas pendientes.
En términos generales, cada albacea, administrador u otro representante personal que maneje el patrimonio de una persona fallecida debería considerar la posibilidad de asegurar una fianza de sucesión. Incluso si esta fianza no es un requisito del tribunal de sucesiones ni se menciona en el testamento de la persona fallecida, puede ser útil para brindar tranquilidad a todos los involucrados en el proceso de sucesión.
El albacea o administrador de un patrimonio no está autorizado a realizar ciertas acciones mientras cumple su función. Por ejemplo, no pueden:
La mayoría de los albaceas y administradores ni siquiera considerarían involucrarse en estas actividades. Pero, si el albacea o administrador del patrimonio de tu ser querido no cumple con las reglas, tener una fianza de sucesión puede evitar que tu familia sufra pérdidas financieras.
Aun así, tú y tu familia deben hacer todo lo posible para supervisar al albacea o administrador del patrimonio de tu ser querido y responsabilizarlo por cualquier error que cometa. Sin embargo, no será necesario seguirlo constantemente durante el proceso de sucesión si sabes que ha comprado una fianza para proteger a tu familia.
El costo de una fianza de sucesión varía según la afianzadora que el albacea o administrador elija y el tamaño del patrimonio de tu ser querido. Sin embargo, el costo promedio de este tipo de fianza suele ser alrededor del 0.5% de su valor total. Así que, si un albacea o administrador adquiere una fianza de $250,000, debería costar aproximadamente $1,250 en muchos casos.
Este es un precio relativamente bajo si consideramos la alternativa. Si permites que el albacea o administrador del patrimonio de tu ser querido trabaje sin una fianza de sucesión, tú y los demás miembros de la familia podrían perder miles de dólares y activos valiosos.
Uno de los pocos inconvenientes de asegurar una fianza de sucesión es que la afianzadora a menudo te pedirá que la pagues por adelantado. Si no puedes costearla, Rockpoint Probate Funding puede ayudarte a obtener los fondos necesarios para cubrir los costos de sucesión.
