As we start a new year we decide to get our lives in order. The number one resolution for Americans is to lose weight. I am right there and have started Weight Watchers. I am looking forward to feeling better with less weight.
Other things we do at the beginning of the year is to “take care of business”. That was even Elvis Presley’s theme or favorite saying. One of the things we may need to take care of is bringing your Estate Planning or Asset Protection Planning current or get it done. Three things are always moving in Estate Planning:
(1) The law;
(2) The people;
(3) What you own.
Since those three parts are always moving, you need to be reviewing your Estate Plan to make sure it matches up with the current law, that you have the right people in the right roles in the event you become “mentally disabled” or when you pass on, and that your Estate Plan controls what you own. It is your “Life’s Work™”. It is worth making the effort to plan for and protect it.
At the Law Firm of Steven Andrew Jackson, Attorney and Counsellor at Law, we have helped hundreds of families protect themselves and their loved ones, avoid Estate Taxes and Probate Costs, and keep their Estate Plans current with the law through The Customized Protective Estate Planning Solution™.
