Ask Yourself

• Does your plan avoid probate?
• Does your plan fulfill your estate planning goals?
• Does your plan address any potential estate tax?
• Does your plan protect your assets from a remarriage of a spouse?
• Does your plan protect your inheritance for a divorcing child?
• Does your plan integrate your retirement funds?
• Have you reviewed your estate plan in the last year?

If you answered "No" to any of the above, you should schedule a complimentary initial consultation or review of your existing estate plan to learn about how to change all the answers to "Yes". If you work with a Financial Advisor, feel free to invite them.
