There is nothing worse than being sick on vacation.

Before you leave, it may be worth taking a few minutes to make sure your estate planning documents are in place and up to date.

Three documents that are especially important to review before traveling are:

• Durable Power of Attorney
• Health Care Power of Attorney
• HIPAA Authorization

Together, these documents help ensure that the people you trust have the authority they may need if something unexpected happens while you are away, such as an illness or injury.

A Durable Power of Attorney designates an agent to handle financial matters on your behalf. A Health Care Power of Attorney authorizes a trusted person to make medical decisions if you cannot communicate them yourself. A HIPAA Authorization permits designated individuals to access your protected medical information and communicate with providers when needed, regardless of whether or not you are incapacitated.

These documents are not only about emergencies. They are about clarity, preparation, and making sure the right people are able to help at the right time.

Travel plans usually include flights, lodging, transportation, and packing lists.

Estate planning should be part of that preparation, too.

Before your next trip, consider reviewing your documents to make sure they still reflect your wishes, your trusted decision-makers, and your current circumstances.

Hopefully, you will never need them.

But if you do, you will be glad you planned ahead.

A $500 million estate. No clear plan. And now, a full probate battle.

Tony Hsieh built one of the most recognizable online brands of his time as CEO of Zappos. But after his passing in 2020, attention quickly shifted from his success to something far more uncertain, his estate.

At first, it appeared there were no formal estate planning documents in place.

Then, years later, a will surfaced. It arrived in the mail from a foreign country, included unverified witnesses, and referenced trusts that may not even exist. Mr. Hsieh’s calendar was packed full of meetings at his Los Angeles, California office on the day on which it was allegedly signed. Despite serious concerns about its validity, the document still met the legal threshold to be considered in court, triggering a high-stakes dispute over his estate.

While this situation is extreme, the underlying issue is not.

When there is no clear estate plan, or when documentation is inconsistent, problems tend to follow:

• Uncertainty about true intent
• Family disputes
• Exposure to fraud or questionable claims
• Lengthy and expensive probate proceedings

A well-structured estate plan is designed to prevent exactly this.

It creates clarity. It establishes control. And it protects the people involved.

Just as importantly, working with an experienced attorney adds layers of protection. You can rely on their expertise to ensure your estate plan accomplishes your goals. And your attorney will retain a copy of your estate planning documents at their office. A third-party able to verify the legitimacy of your estate planning documents after your death.

The takeaway is simple.

Estate planning is not just about distributing assets. It is about protecting your intent, minimizing conflict, and ensuring that your plan holds up when it matters most.

Only weeks after a new FinCEN residential real estate reporting rule came into effect, a federal court decision vacated the rule, creating uncertainty for the future of the rule.

FinCEN’s anti-money laundering rule aimed to increase transparency in real estate transactions and help prevent the use of anonymous entities to conceal illicit funds. The rule applied to non-financed transfers of residential real estate where property was transferred to non-person legal entities such as corporations, LLCs, and certain trusts. It required reporting persons, such as title companies and attorneys, to file a report for these non-financed transfers

In the recent case, Flowers Title Cos., LLC v. Bessent, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ruled that FinCEN exceeded its statutory authority under the Bank Secrecy Act. On March 19, 2026, just weeks after the final rule took effect on March 1, 2026, the court granted summary judgement in favor of the plaintiff, vacating the rule nationwide. As a result, FinCEN posted the following alert on its platforms:

“In light of a federal court decision, reporting persons are not currently required to file real estate reports with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force.”

Although the rule is currently unenforceable and reporting persons are not required to fill out reports, uncertainty remains. Two other recent federal court cases have upheld FinCEN’s rule as lawful and constitutional. Additionally, there is a possibility that the decision reached in Flowers Title Cos., LLC v. Bessent could be appealed. This leaves the possibility open for future changes to the real estate regulatory landscape.

While the rule remains vacated for the moment, interested parties should stay informed and be prepared to adjust if requirements are reinstated or modified. Regular monitoring of current legal developments will be key to navigating this evolving area.

Jim Irsay, the former owner of the Indianapolis Colts, made the news last week when his private collection was sold at auction, netting an astounding $94.5 million and setting 28 world records for an auction. From David Gilmour’s Black Stratocaster guitar (sold for $14.55 million), to Bob Dylan’s handwritten lyrics for “The Times They Are a Changin” ($2.515 million), to Secretariat’s 1973 Triple Crown saddle ($1.524 million), Mr. Irsay’s private collection was filled with historically significant pieces.

While your personal collection might not include Kurt Cobain’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” guitar ($6.9 million), or John Lennon’s Broadwood upright piano ($3.247 million), there’s a good chance you have family members that would find a keepsake from your jewelry or gun collection a valuable heirloom to remember you by.

For many, what happens to their material possessions is of little importance. But for others, passing along family heirlooms is a monumental decision. Regardless of which end of the spectrum you fall on, your estate plan should accommodate your feelings on the matter.

Common traps people fall into when planning for the disposition of their personal property (and some methods to avoid them) are:

• Failing to fully set forth their wishes.

Incorporating specific bequests, or executing a personal property memorandum along with your estate planning documents, is an excellent strategy to make your wishes known.

• Inadvertently granting one family member too much discretion in dividing and distributing personal property among family members.

The sentimental significance of family heirlooms sometimes renders even distribution difficult if all that’s accounted for is monetary value. Consider incorporating a lot-style mechanism where family

The takeaway, planning for the distribution of your tangible personal property after your death can and should be tailored to your wishes. And don’t downplay the significance of passing along family heirlooms to your family members. Something to remember you by may mean more to them than you’ll ever know, even if it’s not Eric Clapton’s Gibson guitar or 28 pages of Sylvester Stallone’s original “Rocky” script.
