Regularly reviewing your estate planning documents is key to keeping your plan aligned with your current circumstances, goals, and legal requirements.

This checklist is designed to guide you through the critical areas to consider when reviewing your estate planning documents. Whether it’s updating beneficiary designations, re-evaluating your power of attorney, or ensuring that your will reflects recent life events, this guide will help you address the details that often go unnoticed. Periodic reviews can save your loved ones from unnecessary complications and ensure that your estate plan works effectively when the time comes.
