Estate Planning: Recognize, Reach Out, Revise

June 30, 2022 by Adam Rubin

The truth of the matter is that nobody is especially anxious to think about the details of their own passing. But be this as it may, we all eventually die and this is part of the human condition. Approaching the matter with your head in the sand is really only making a difficult situation worse for your family members who will be left behind.

You may well live a long, robust and largely healthy life and pass away after reaching an advanced age, but there are no guarantees. Therefore, it can be logically suggested that you should have an estate plan in place as soon as you become a self-supporting adult in your own right.

Like anything else estate planning requires the initial spark of recognition. Once you realize that you should have an estate plan in place you can begin to consider the details. This would of course include who you want to provide for and how you want to do so. In addition to these financial elements there are also health care contingencies to consider and these can be addressed through the execution of advance health care directives.

Once you recognize the need to have an estate plan in place it is a good idea to reach out to an estate planning attorney to assist you. The layperson would have no reason to understand all of the intricacies of estate planning and you’ll find that it is far more efficient to engage the services of a professional than it is to try to “do it alone” as it were.

After you have taken action with the assistance of an estate planning lawyer, you must then be prepared to revise your estate plan. Things change as the years pass, both within your own family and within the society as a whole. Many of these changes will impact your estate plan and make it necessary for you to update it accordingly.
