An estate plan is more than a set of signed documents. It is a system of ownership, beneficiary instructions, decision-making authority, liquidity and family understanding. The documents and the assets need to work together.
Discussion priority
Clarify the decision, time horizon and constraints.
Questions to explore
Do asset titles and beneficiary forms match the intent of my documents?
Who can act if I cannot, and do they know where to find instructions?
What expenses or taxes could create a need for liquidity?
Which state or cross-border issues require specialist counsel?
Bring to the conversation
