confident that all your affairs are in order.”

Creating an estate plan is a big deal. This will give you and your family peace of
mind, as you can be confident that all your affairs are in order.
Unfortunately, some people who create an estate plan never revisit it in the
future. This can be a mistake.
There are times when it makes sense to review your estate plan. There are times
when this is a must, as your life has changed and your estate plan should follow
suit.
You never know what the future holds. If you go through a major life change, for
example, it is imperative that you review your estate plan to ensure that it still
works for you and your family. You may find that making some changes would be
in your best interest.

When to Conduct a Review
There is no “set” time to review your estate plan. Instead, this should be based on
a comparison of your life when you created your plan and your life at the present
time.
Here are some situations in which it makes sense to review your estate plan:
1. You have gone through a major life change. This could include
marriage, divorce, or having a child. With divorce, for instance, it is likely that
you no longer want to include your ex-spouse in your estate plan. If you don’t
make the necessary change, your assets could end up in this person’s hands upon
your death.

2. If your financial situation has greatly changed. Maybe you created an
estate plan when you were young and did not have a lot of money. Twenty years
later things have changed and you have more assets than you ever imagined
possible. It is now time to consider the finer details of your estate plan. You may
find there are things you can do that improve your financial situation now, while
doing the same for your family in the future. But remember, if you want to make
changes for the better you must first conduct a review of your estate plan.
3. If you don’t remember what your estate plan entails. Let’s face it: your
life will get busy and you
may forget what your
estate plan is all about.
You want to make sure
everything is still in good
order. All it takes is a
few hours to pull out
your estate planning
documents and review
each one in great detail.
At that point, you can
decide if changes are
necessary or if you can
leave well enough alone.

Questions to Ask and Answer
If you are still unsure of whether or not you should review your estate plan, it is
time to answer the following questions:
 Do you have a will?
 Did you go through a major life change?
 Has the value of your assets changed?
 Do you have any children under the age of 18?
 Could a trust provide you and your family with any benefits?
 Have you moved from one state to another?
 Have you or your spouse become incapacitated?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you shouldn’t delay in
reviewing your estate plan. There is a good chance it is in need of some changes.
Your estate plan is extremely important. If you don’t take this seriously, it could
cause your loved ones trouble in the future.
Many people make the mistake of leaving their estate plan the same. They think
what they created in the past is good enough for the future, but this is not always
true.
If the time comes to review your estate plan, do so with the help of an
experienced attorney. This will allow you to make changes without worrying
about the legal implications.
