Your estate plan is not a document that you should set and then forget. It is meant to be a living plan that grows and changes alongside your life. Most legal experts recommend having a professional review your documents every few years to ensure they are still accurate. You should also consider an immediate update after any major life event such as a marriage, a divorce, or the birth of a new child. Moving to a different state or experiencing a significant change in your financial situation are also important reasons to make sure your legal plans are still up to date with current laws.
