Your estate plan isn’t a “set it and forget it” kind of thing.

A good rule of thumb is to review your plan when you experience one of the Five D’s:

Death — Has someone named in your plan passed away?
Disability — Have health or capacity needs changed for you or a loved one?
Divorce — Has a marriage ended or a relationship significantly changed?
Descendants — New children or grandchildren in the family?
Distance — Has someone you named moved away, or have you relocated?

Even if none of these apply, it’s a good idea to periodically make sure your estate plan still reflects your wishes, your family, and your life today.

When was the last time you reviewed yours?

If your estate plan could use an update—or you’re not sure whether it does—contact Sheets Law to schedule a review.

When was the last time you checked in on your estate plan? If it has been a while, you are definitely not alone. Many people think their plan is “done” once it is signed, but it should evolve as life changes.

Here are a few reminders to help keep your plan up to date:

• Review your estate plan every three to five years to make sure it still reflects your goals.
• Major life changes like marriage, divorce, or welcoming a child should trigger a review within 60 to 90 days.
• Keep the “5 Ds” in mind — death, disability, divorce, distance, and descendants — as common reasons to revisit your documents.

Your plan should grow with you. If it has been a few years since your last review, I am here to help you make sure everything still aligns with your wishes.

Beneficiary designations are one of those small details that make a big impact in your estate planning. These designations decide who receives funds from important accounts—and they can even override what’s written in your will.

If you haven’t checked yours in a while, now is a great time to make sure they align with your current wishes and the rest of your plan.

If you’re unsure where to start, I’m here to help you review or update your beneficiary designations so everything works together smoothly.

Have questions? Let me know.

August is National Make a Will Month — a good reminder that estate planning isn’t just about what you own. It’s about taking care of the people you love.

A thoughtful estate plan makes your wishes clear, protects the people who matter to you, and helps ensure someone you trust can step in if you’re unable to make decisions for yourself.

I often say that estate planning is an act of love. It’s a way to take care of the people you love now and make things a little easier for them later. ❤️

In honor of Make a Will Month, I’m offering $50 estate planning consultations for the next two weeks. Just mention this reel when you contact Sheets Law to schedule.

If estate planning has been sitting on your to-do list, now is a great time to cross it off.

August is National Make a Will Month, making it a great time to check in on one of the core pieces of any estate plan. A will helps ensure your wishes are honored, and without one, important decisions could default to the state instead of reflecting your intentions.

This month, we’re sharing answers to some of the most common questions we hear about wills and how they fit into a complete estate planning strategy.

If you’d like to review your current will or explore how it aligns with your broader plan, we’re here to help. Reach out anytime to talk through your options.

If you’re unsure how your own assets will transfer or want a quick review of your current estate plan, I’m here to help. Call me anytime to get started.
