ARE YOU PREPARED?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here at Caldwell Law, we want your estate plan to work. Peace of mind is the most commonly reported
benefit of having an estate plan. But, is the peace of mind you felt when you first created your plan still
justified? Is the picture of a plan that works for you still clear? Life has surely changed. Your circumstances,
the circumstances of your beneficiaries, the circumstances of your helpers, the law, all change. Will your plan still work the way you want it to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our biggest challenges is helping our clients keep their estate plans up to date. How will the planning we did earlier work years later if we lose the ability to make our own decisions or at the time of our death? Our dentist calls us in twice a year, we see our doctor every year (or more), we file income tax returns each year. What do we do to keep our estate plans current? We hope this Guide will help people review their plans and make sure they will work as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use the following questions to help our clients determine if their plan still reflects their wishes or whether, as is often the case, adjustments need to be made. We encourage you to test your plan by asking yourself our Four Essential Questions. Our goal is for all of our clients to answer \u201cyes\u201d to these questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I understand my estate plan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
