Once your estate plan is established, it is important to revisit your plan periodically to ensure that it fits life’s ever-changing course. Below is a list of events that should cause you to review and evaluate your estate plan.
- Marriage or divorce
- Birth of a child
- Approaching retirement
- Moving to a different state
- Death of a family member
- Change in assets
- Illness or disability
- Change in family dynamics and relationships
As life is unpredictable, it is important to periodically review your estate plan. An up-to-date plan can help ensure that your wishes are carried out and can prevent chaos for your family after your death.
