Action Items

Make sure your trust is updated regularly. Tax laws, family circumstances and financial situations are always changing. The living trust you create today may not be appropriate for you in five or 10 years, and the choices you have made with regard to trustees and guardians may no longer meet your needs. For these reasons, it is important to review your living trust with your attorney at least every three years.

Remember These Other Important Documents
In addition to considering a revocable living trust, make sure you have a will, a living will, a health care power of attorney and a durable power of attorney for financial matters in place.
