You should review your estate plan regularly. Failure to change your estate plan documents could result in worse results than if you had not created them at all. Births - When a new child or grandchild is born, you may want to consider redistribution of your estate. A trust may also benefit the child or grandchild. Disability - A family member with special needs such as disability, illness or other infirmity, usually require special planning to meet that family member's needs without claims from that family's creditors.
Public assistance is also available with special planning.
Deaths - The death of a family member or executor, personal representative, guardian, or trustee will also require changes in your estate plan. Marriage - Your estate plan should also be reviewed in the event of marriage. If your child or other beneficiary should marry, this may also require changes in your estate. Remarriage - You may wish to consider a trust for your children or grandchildren in the event of a remarriage. Your children may not be included in your estate should you remarry and predecease your new spouse.
