Heading into 2024, it is essential to have an estate plan in place to ensure that your assets are distributed exactly as intended when you pass away. An integral part of your estate plan is having a will created. Having a will created is only the first step, the second step is maintaining your will throughout the years. Typically, you should revisit your will every 3-5 years to update it for any of the following life events: change in marital status, having or adopting a child, moving to a new state, acquiring new assets, and the death of a spouse or power of attorney just to name a few.

Creating an estate plan can be incredibly stressful and time consuming, but having an estate planning attorney can help to guide you through the process in a competent and caring manner.
