Unfortunately, as the article shows, most people and families don't have basic estate plan documents in place. At Financial Prosperity, Inc. we make sure all our clients have estate plans in place and that those are regularly reviewed. Family relationships, health status, and tax laws are always in flux so regular reviews are important and appropriate changes, if any, can be made.
When did you last thoroughly read all documents that make up your estate plan?
