When Should You Get an Estate Plan?
Now. Life-altering changes happen in the blink of an eye, but preparing ahead protects your plans and wishes. Consider creating or updating your estate plan when life-changing events occur, such as:
Marriage or divorce
The birth of a child or grandchild
A child's milestone birthday
Acquisition of new assets
Retirement
Estate Plans: Not Just for the Rich & Famous
Estate planning brings peace of mind. Without an estate plan, the court — not you — will determine how your assets are distributed.
RLF’s experienced attorneys navigate the court system efficiently, helping reduce delays, costs, and unnecessary complications. RLF’s Estate Planning Team is dedicated to guiding each client through the process with compassion, clarity, and precision.
