The death of a loved one is never easy. After you’ve had time to process the loss and begin healing, it’s important to consider how this loss might affect your estate plan. Many people don’t realize that changes in family structure, such as the death of a beneficiary or trusted decision-maker, can impact their plans for the future.
Why Review Your Estate Plan?
Your estate plan isn’t just about what happens when you pass away—it’s a living document that should adapt as your life changes. The death of someone named in your will, trust, or powers of attorney could leave gaps in your plan that need to be filled to ensure your wishes are honored.
When Should You Review?
While there’s no rush, it’s generally a good idea to revisit your estate plan once you feel emotionally ready. Estate plans are meant to reflect your current circumstances, so updating them when things change is essential for peace of mind.
