How Often Do You Update Your Estate Plan? More Often Than Your Resume?
A resume is a “snapshot” of your experience, skill set, and education which provides prospective employers insight into who you are and how you will perform. Imagine not updating that resume for 5, 10, or even 15 years. Would it accurately reflect who you are? Would it do what you want it to do? Likely not. Estate plans are similar in that they need to be updated on a regular basis to reflect changes in your life so they can do what you want them to do.

Outdated estate plans - like outdated resumes - simply don’t work.
Take a Moment to Reflect
Think back for a moment - think of all the changes in your life. What’s changed since you signed your will, trust, and other estate planning documents? If something has changed that affects you, your trusted helpers, or your beneficiaries, your estate plan probably needs to reflect that change.
Here are examples of changes that are significant enough to warrant an estate plan review and, likely, updates:
- Birth
- Adoption
- Marriage
- Divorce or separation
- Death
- Addictions
- Incapacity/disability
- Health challenges
- Financial status changes – good or bad
- Tax law changes
- Move to a new state
- Family circumstances changes – good or bad
- Business circumstances changes – good or bad
