As you might know, August is National Make a Will Month — making now the perfect time to revisit one of the most crucial parts of an estate plan.

Wills provide clear legal direction so your intentions can be carried out the way you want upon your passing. Without a will in place, such decisions may be left to the state, which might not carry out your intentions the way you would prefer.

With this in mind, we wanted to share a brief overview of some commonly asked questions about wills. Swipe for more information.

If you would like to review your current will or talk through how it fits into your overall estate plan, feel free to reach out. We are always happy to walk through your situation with you and help identify any gaps or updates that may be worth addressing.

As we reach the midpoint of the year, it is a good time to pause and ask: Does your estate plan still reflect your current wishes and circumstances?

Here are a few important questions to consider:

🔹 Have you experienced a major life change? Marriage, divorce, remarriage, the birth or adoption of a child or grandchild, a death in the family, purchasing a new home, starting a new business, or retirement can all impact how your plan operates.

🔹 Do your decision-makers not align with your wishes anymore? Your executor, trustee, and powers of attorney should be individuals who are still willing and able to serve when needed.

🔹 Could your assets and beneficiary designations use a quick review? Retirement accounts, life insurance policies, and property titles should align with your will or trust to avoid unintended outcomes.

🔹 Has it simply been a while since you checked in on your plan? Even without major life changes, estate plans should still be reviewed periodically to remain current with evolving laws and aligned with your long-term goals.

If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, then do not hesitate to contact us to schedule a review of your estate plan. We are here to help you keep everything aligned and up to date.
