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.

🏡 Barreau Legal Property Tax Update

Florida lawmakers have approved a proposed constitutional amendment that could appear on the November 2026 General Election ballot. If approved by Florida voters, the amendment would eliminate property taxes on homestead property in Florida.

As with any proposed constitutional amendment, there are important legal, financial, and policy considerations that will be discussed in the months ahead. The proposal is not yet law and must first be approved by Florida voters before taking effect.

Barreau Legal will continue to monitor developments and provide updates to help keep our community informed.

Americans are living longer, and that shift is reshaping how we think about estate planning. Recent data shows life expectancy in the U.S. has climbed to nearly 79 years, continuing an upward trend after recent declines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This means individuals and families must prepare for longer retirements, extended care needs, and more complex planning decisions over time. Swipe through to learn more.

If your current plan does not reflect these realities, or if it has been some time since your last review, now is the time to revisit it. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you plan for the future with confidence.

If postsecondary education is part of your family’s future, estate planning can help support those goals in a thoughtful and organized way.

There are several tools families may consider.

A gifting trust can hold and invest money or property for beneficiaries while offering flexibility and control. A health and education exclusion trust may help support education or healthcare costs across generations while also incorporating charitable planning. A revocable living trust can include provisions to fund a child’s or grandchild’s education while allowing you to update the plan during your lifetime.

Families may also consider 529 plans, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, or UTMA/UGMA accounts, depending on their goals and circumstances.

It is also important to remember that saving for education may affect need-based financial aid. How an account is owned can determine how it is reported and how it may influence eligibility.

The right approach depends on your family, your goals, and your broader estate plan. We are here to help you think through the options.

Long-term care insurance can be useful, but it is not one-size-fits-all.

Traditional LTCI and hybrid life/LTC products may help cover care needs such as in-home care, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing care. These policies can provide dedicated funds, preserve assets for heirs, support spousal planning, and reduce reliance on family caregivers.

But every policy has limits. Some policies may not cover the care you assume is included, and modern policies often involve stricter health requirements and more conservative pricing.

Whether long-term care insurance is right for you depends on your assets, health, budget, family responsibilities, and long-term planning goals.

A dedicated care policy is only one piece of a larger plan. It should be reviewed alongside your estate plan, insurance coverage, and financial strategy.

05/20/2026

Long-term care planning is not about expecting the worst. It is about preserving your choices and protecting the people you care about if life takes an unexpected turn.

A strong plan can help protect a spouse’s standard of living, preserve legacy intentions, maintain care choices, align long-term care with retirement planning, and reduce the burden on family caregivers.

No single strategy can protect against every risk. However, a thoughtful combination of tools may help, including insurance policies, flexible and accessible assets, public benefits planning, protective trusts, and clear family coordination.

The earlier these conversations happen, the more options your family may have.

If long-term care is not addressed in your current estate plan, reach out to us to start the conversation.
