Estate Planning Components That Require Maintenance

While all aspects of your estate plan require regular reviews and maintenance, some are more critical than others. At the very least, you need to stay on top of your:

Our Northern Virginia estate plan maintenance attorneys can review these and other documents and assist you with updates. Reach out to us today to schedule a consultation.

Reasons for Maintenance

When you made your estate plan, it was based on your current situation while also anticipating future needs. Because of that balancing act, your estate plan needs to be updated if you have experienced a significant change in circumstances. For instance, if you have acquired more wealth, you might need to upgrade your plan or add more beneficiaries. At the same time, you might need to adjust your plan after your children reach the age of 18 or your health begins deteriorating.

In addition, if you have a trust, you want to make sure that any new assets you are acquiring are being properly funded into the trust. Finally, estate plan maintenance is necessary to address new goals and preferences as you grow older. What you valued years ago might not be the same as what you value today. Thus, your estate plan needs to evolve with you.

Learn more about the importance of the process by contacting an estate planning maintenance attorney at PJI Law. Then, we can review your plan and make recommendations.

Estate Plan Maintenance When Relocating

Estate planning laws and guidelines vary from one state to the next. Thus, if you have an estate plan in one state, it might not be valid if you relocate. If you have recently moved to Virginia or plan to do so in the near future, it is important to consult with an estate plan maintenance attorney.

Our firm can review your current estate plan to ensure it meets Virginia’s requirements. If it does not, we can update it so it complies with the law. If you fail to make the necessary changes, you might discover your estate plan does not offer the protections you had hoped for when creating it. Thus, contact our firm to discuss updating your estate plan after relocating.
