Estate Planning

What Issues Should I Consider When Reviewing My Estate Planning Documents?

Overview

Estate documents are usually signed once and reviewed rarely, which is part of the problem. A power of attorney naming an agent you're no longer close to, or a trust that was never funded with the assets it was meant to hold, defeats the purpose quietly.

A document-by-document review, rather than a general glance, is what catches these gaps before they matter.
