Is Your Will Up to Date?

is your will up to date?

The will attorneys in Reinfeld & Cabrera’s Coral Springs office want to remind you how important it is to keep your will up-to-date. You may have done the majority of your estate planning years ago, but now there are some changes you need to make to your will.

Your will is one of the most important documents you will ever establish and it is important to keep it up-to-date, reflecting your current plans for your estate. While the plans you made in your will years ago reflect your life at that time, you may want your current will to reflect changes in your life. The will attorneys in Coral Springs will help you update your will and make sure your estate plans are in order.

There are a lot of reasons why you might want to update your will. Marriage, divorce, and death are all reasons why wills need to be updated to reflect you current life status. A new child is also a reason to make changes to your will, as it will now reflect a new heir to your estate. Other potential reasons to update a will would be if you have seen a significant decrease or increase to your estate. For example, if you have won the lottery since your last will update, you will want to change your documents with the will attorneys in Coral Springs, to reflect your current worth.

If you have recently moved to the South Florida area from out of state, then you should also have a will attorney from Reinfeld & Cabrera’s Coral Springs office review your will to make sure it will be current and up to date according to Florida law. Tax laws change on a regular basis as well. It is always good to have your will reviewed and updated to take advantage of any new tax law changes that may be reflected in your estate planning.

Of course, the will attorneys in Coral Springs know that sometimes you just might change your mind about something in your will. Whether it be about the person you have named as the guardian of your children, or someone who was named to receive an inheritance from your estate, it is okay to change your mind and want your will to reflect this latest decision.

Don’t hesitate. Make those changes to your will today before it is too late.
