As another year comes to a close and a new one begins, it’s a great time to take stock of the many changes life has brought your way and what’s to come. It’s also a good time to think about your estate plan. Many people review their estate plan at a regular frequency, often when they go over their whole financial plan. Anne Desormier-Cartwright of Elder and Estate Planning Attorneys, PA says ‘In addition to regular reviews, it’s a good idea to review and update your plan at life events, like the birth of a child, when a child or grandchild becomes an adult or when they go to college, if you have to care for an adult, if there are changes in your financial goals, illness or disability of your spouse. And of course, marriage or divorce.’
She continues to say that there are many others reasons and that reviewing your plan goes beyond major life events. She suggests you should check your plan at regular intervals, such as a new year. This will help ensure that your legacy, both financial and otherwise, is passed on in accordance with your wishes and that your beneficiaries receive their benefits as smoothly as possible.
