Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start estate planning?
Estate planning should begin as soon as you acquire significant assets or have dependents. Key life events that should trigger estate planning include marriage, having children, acquiring property, or starting a business.
What happens if I die without an estate plan?
Without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to state intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This can lead to lengthy probate processes and potential family disputes.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, or significant changes in assets or tax laws.
