Tax-loss harvesting sounds interesting. I've heard of it but never really understood how it works. And regarding estate planning, what are the basic steps I should be considering for my financial assets?
English
税务亏损收割听起来很有趣。我听说过，但从没真正明白它是如何运作的。至于遗产规划，对于我的金融资产，我应该考虑哪些基本步骤呢？

Absolutely. Tax-loss harvesting essentially involves selling investments at a loss to offset capital gains or even a limited amount of ordinary income. For estate planning, the foundational steps usually involve drafting a will, designating clear beneficiaries for all accounts, and exploring if a trust could be beneficial for minimizing probate or ensuring specific distribution wishes are met.
English
当然。税务亏损收割本质上是出售亏损的投资，以抵消资本利得，甚至是一定数量的普通收入。对于遗产规划，基本步骤通常包括起草遗嘱，为所有账户指定明确的受益人，并探讨信托是否有利于减少遗嘱认证或确保实现特定的分配意愿。

So, a will and beneficiaries are the absolute must-haves. I've been putting that off. And a trust... is that mainly for very large estates, or can it benefit someone like me?
English
所以，遗嘱和受益人是绝对必须的。我一直拖着没办。那信托呢……主要是针对非常大的遗产，还是像我这样的人也能受益？

Precisely, a will and properly designated beneficiaries are crucial. Trusts aren't just for the ultra-wealthy. They can offer privacy, avoid probate, and provide a structured way to manage assets for heirs, especially if you have minor children or specific wishes for how assets are distributed over time. We can discuss different types of trusts and see if one aligns with your family's needs.
English
没错，遗嘱和妥善指定的受益人至关重要。信托并非只适用于超级富豪。它们可以提供隐私、避免遗嘱认证，并为继承人提供一种结构化的方式来管理资产，特别是如果您有未成年子女或对资产如何随时间分配有特定愿望。我们可以讨论不同类型的信托，看看是否有适合您家庭需求的。
中文翻译
👨
Client
第 9 轮
That makes a lot of sense. So, my next steps would be reviewing my current portfolio for tax-loss harvesting opportunities, confirming all my beneficiaries are up-to-date, and then we could set up a follow-up to discuss trusts in more detail?
English
这很有道理。那么，我的下一步就是审查我目前的投资组合，寻找税务亏损收割的机会，确认所有受益人信息都是最新的，然后我们可以安排一次后续会议，更详细地讨论信托？
