We discussed the importance of having an estate plan to pass along generational wealth. We covered each piece of an estate plan, the necessary documents, and how to use them. Finally, we talked about how to keep your estate plan up to date and a few tips that make maintaining it easier.What are the foundational documents I need for my estate plan? At a minimum, we suggest a pour over will, living trust, medical power of attorney, financial power of attorney, and HIPPA release.What is the difference between a revocable trust and an irrevocable trust? A revocable trust is a trust in which the terms can be changed at any time. An irrevocable trust describes a trust that cannot be modified after it is created without the consent of the beneficiaries.How often should I update my estate plan? Your estate plan should be updated whenever your circle of people or assets changes. For example, when you get married or if you purchase a new home. A good rule of thumb is to set aside time at least once a year to review and update your estate plan.Aren't all estate plans boilerplate? No. Estate plans are both state-specific and situation-specific. You should take into account your home state's requirements for a valid estate plan and what your personal circumstances are. For example, you may need to discuss a trust which shields from Medicaid or a special needs trust.Want a refresher or to see what you missed? Watch the replay.
