Video Summary
When should I update my estate plan? You should update your estate plan when there’s a change in circumstances. This is usually whenever the beneficiary passes away. Particularly whenever you have a husband and wife situation and you lose your spouse, that’s a good time or a reason to update your will to them. Look at your designated beneficiaries to see if they’re still the same. And also as far as selecting who your personal representative, if you want to be and do further estate planning in order to avoid probate. Also, if your personal representative becomes disqualified or dies, that’s another change in circumstance that you may wish to change your will or update your estate planning documents. Also, there can be changes as far as your children or your beneficiaries are concerned, their life, changing situations such as, alcohol or drug abuse. And if you wish to eliminate them while you should update your estate planning documents, or even who you wish to have as your power of attorney, or can make medical decisions for you.
