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?
