Your estate plan is a living plan
Some families think one estate plan fits all—this couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Estate planning offers the opportunity for the future to reflect the present as you wish. Your will only effects upon your death, so while you are alive, your will is alive, too—you can change it as your life changes.
The same goes for the rest of your estate plan. Nothing is permanent until you pass, at which point, the last existing, binding version of your plan tells your heirs and the probate courts what you decided.
Understanding estate planning from this perspective is useful to everyone, but it’s particularly meaningful to clients of our family law practice. If you are divorcing, you may want to change your estate plan—Marni Byrum provides caring, straightforward guidance through what might be an unfortunately emotional time.
