Below are some of the major milestones that prompt people to establish or update an estate plan:

  • Having children or grandchildren
  • Home or additional property ownership
  • Marriage, remarriage, or divorce
  • Owning, growing, or selling a business
  • Upcoming travel
  • Accumulating wealth or inheritance

With an estate plan, you can:
