Estate Planning

When to Update Your Estate Plan: Guidance from the Law Offices of Gregory S. Duncan

At the Law Offices of Gregory S. Duncan, we understand that estate planning is a vital part of securing your family’s future. In California, your estate plan should evolve alongside your life to reflect your current wishes and circumstances. Here are important moments to revisit your estate plan:

1. Life Changes: Getting married, divorced, welcoming new family members, or losing a loved one can all affect your estate.

2. Financial Shifts: Buying or selling property, growing your assets, or changes in your financial situation merit an update.

3. Health Considerations: Changes in your health may require new healthcare directives or updates to powers of attorney.

4. Legal Updates: California law around estates and probate can change; staying current ensures your plan remains valid.

5. Moving: Relocating to or from California can impact how your estate is managed.

6. Regular Reviews: Even without major life changes, reviewing your plan every 3-5 years is key to keeping it accurate.
