Reap the Benefits of an Updated Estate Plan: Here’s Why
The New Federal Tax Law Offers Plenty of Reasons to Update Your Estate Plan
“When Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, lawmakers included a huge increase in the federal estate tax exemption., which now stands at $11.2 million through 2025, with adjustments for inflation. You may think because you don’t have that much money, you can put your estate planning on the back burner.
Anne Desormier Cartwright of Elder & Estate Planning Attorneys PA says that could be a mistake:
“”First, it’s always a good idea to review your estate plan, regardless of whether federal or state tax laws change. A marriage, a death in the family, or the birth of a grandchild are just a few other reasons to revamp your plan, not to mention if you’ve changed your mind since you last addressed your estate documents.””
There is no better time to get started than the beginning of a new year to update your plans with a trusted estate planning attorney. It’s critically important to craft legally sound paperwork to ensure your final wishes are followed, and your loved ones are supported through your lifelong work.
