AN OUT-OF-DATE WILL CAN RUIN YOUR ESTATE PLAN

It is important to update a will following major life events such as a birth of child, a death in the family or a divorce. These events are often watershed moments in a person's life that change a person's wishes and desires. A change in the number or value of a person's assets can also have the same effect. Therefore, an updated estate plan is a must.

If people choose not to update their estate plan, their will can quickly become out-of-date. It may not include a person's children which could leave them without an inheritance or a guardian should the person suddenly die. Or, an out-of-date will could leave assets to a person's ex-spouse, for example. These mistakes can easily be remedied, but if left alone, can cost people's loved ones both time and money.
