Steve’s Though of the Day
What’s important right now for your estate planning? In short, three (3) things: locate all original documents – wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance medical directives, memorandums – and review them for accuracy and any needed changes; revise and update all documents that require changes or updating, and check/verify all asset alignment and beneficiary designations to ensure continuity of the plan; and lastly organize all your estate planning documents, financial documents and information, digital asset information, letter of wishes, memorandums or instructions, and any other information you deem pertinent to your plan and legacy. Locate, revise/update, and organize.
