There are at least three certainties in life: death, taxes and change. As we age and experience change, or laws change, it’s critical to reevaluate our plans for the future and where our loved ones or our goals (old and new) fit into them. This begs the question: when was the last time you took a look at your estate plan? Or, even: Do you have a plan in place that will designate how your assets will be distributed after you pass?
