Update Your Estate Plan

You need an up-to-date Will (and/or living trust) so that your estate won't pass by intestacy to unintended beneficiaries. Unfortunately, only one in five Americans have a current Will.

Here are a few tips regarding estate planning and updating your Will:

• You need an up-to-date Will (and/or living trust). Your estate won't then pass by intestacy to unintended beneficiaries. Unfortunately, only one in five Americans has a current Will.
• Review your Will and/or living trust annually. Your estate planning needs will change as rapidly as your asset protection needs. An outdated Will can cause you even more legal problems than dying without a will.
• In addition to your Will or living trust, you also need a durable power of attorney (one for healthcare and one for your financial/legal affairs). Appoint someone who can immediately represent you should you become incapacitated. You also need a Living Will to indicate if you want your life artificially prolonged.
• Employ a knowledgeable estate planner. You will need one if you have a taxable or complex estate. A good estate planner can save you a fortune in estate taxes. They can also show you many other ways to combine estate planning with asset protection.
