One event that should trigger you to meet with an estate planning attorney is a new baby. When you are expanding your family, that comes with a lot of changes and responsibilities.
Once you have children, you need to consider a variety of things you’ve never had to think about before.
Some of these include:
- Who would you want to take care of your child if something happened to the parents?
- Do you have life insurance that will help offset the costs of raising your child or that can provide for your child?
- Is your life insurance through work? Is it sufficient?
- Do you need disability insurance? What if something were to happen to you physically – could you still provide for your child?
- Finally, it is essential to think about your incapacity and your assets.
We often help our clients walk through these questions and decisions and provide them with guidance as we draft their documents.
Many other life events will also result in changes to your estate plan. If you experience any changes to your circumstances, family dynamics, etc., it’s always a good idea to meet your estate planning lawyer.
