What Estate Planning Errors Should You Avoid?

When it comes to estate planning matters, our lawyers have seen it all. Here are three of the biggest estate planning errors that we commonly see people make:

• Not Planning at All: Although it may be unpleasant to think about, you need to have a thoughtful plan in place. Estate planning is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your affairs will be handled properly after you are gone.
• Forgetting to Update the Will or Trust: If you have recently experienced any major life events, such as divorce, the death of a family member, or the acquisition of new property, you should update your will or trust to provide for these changes.
• Forgetting to Transfer Life Insurance Policies: Although you might have life insurance, it can take months for your family to obtain payment after you pass. Setting up a life insurance trust can ensure your loved ones receive the proceeds as soon as possible.

Why Should You Have an Estate Plan?

Are you a homeowner? Estate planning can provide many benefits for you and your family. An estate plan leaves nothing to chance and confirms that all your assets are accounted for.

Benefits of having an estate plan include the following:

• Avoiding Probate
• Providing for Your Family/Loved Ones
• Reducing Expenses
• Quickly Distributing Assets
• Protecting Your Children
• Planning for a Smooth Retirement Transition

The experienced estate planning professionals at The Weg Law Group are here to help guide you through the process.

What Does Estate Planning Include?

Regardless of your wealth or family situation, anyone can benefit from having an estate plan. A comprehensive estate plan includes a variety of documents that specify how you would like your assets distributed to your loved ones after your passing or during your incapacity.
