When Should You Update Your Estate Planning?​​

  • Has your attorney retired, died or moved on? Is it time to find a new, experienced attorney?

  • Has the makeup of your family changed in recent years?  If so, should your Will be changed?

  • What problems will arise when you become partially or totally incapacitated? 

  • Who will make your medical and financial decisions if you can no longer do so on your own due to an illness or accident? 

  • Do you want the Court appointing a Guardian or do you want to name someone you trust?

  • How will your assisted living and long term care costs be paid?

  • How will things go between your family members when you become disabled? When you die?

  • Should you include trust provisions in your Will for young heirs or for a spouse or child with special needs, or to avoid estate taxes?

  • Are the correct beneficiaries designated in the right order to receive your remaining retirement benefits and life insurance after you die? 

  • Where is your original Last Will and Testament stored?

  • What legal steps will be needed after you die? 

  • Who will take charge if you don't plan for these things?
