How do I know if my Will needs to be updated?
An estate plan is usually not good forever. If your Will was prepared some time ago, there is a possibility that it needs to be updated. Family and financial circumstances change over-time. In addition, changes in federal and state laws may also have an impact on your Will.
Your Will may need to be updated if:
-
The value of your estate has changed over time
-
Your Will names a beneficiary who is no longer alive
-
The Executor named in your Will is no longer able to serve
-
Your Will was not prepared in Texas and does not meet Texas statutory requirements
-
Your current Will makes a specific gift of property to a beneficiary and you no longer own that property
-
Your children are now grown and you would like to provide for them in a different manner
-
You are now married and need to provide for your new spouse and/or children
-
You are now divorced and your Will names your ex-spouse as executor or beneficiary
-
You now have grandchildren and want to provide for them
-
You need a trust to provide for someone who is now disabled
​
If you are unsure about whether your Will needs to be updated, I will be glad to sit down with you and help you review your Will. If your Will is fifteen (15) pages or less, I can review the Will and discuss it with you during your appointment. There is no charge for this service (limited to 30-minute consultation). To set up an appointment, call us at (817) 386-5888.
