How often should I have my estate plan documents reviewed?

You should have your estate plan documents reviewed whenever there is a change in your family situation, your estate plan desires, or a change in the law, such as:

• a divorce or remarriage
• the birth or death of a child
• a move to another state
• you want to add or remove beneficiaries from your documents
• you want to name different persons as fiduciaries in your estate plan documents
• you learn of a change in the law pertaining to estate planning (Examples: Arizona made a major change in its trust laws on January 1, 2009. The federal government made a major change in its gift and estate tax laws on January 1, 2013.)
