The hard work and decisions you made for your estate plan are very beneficial, but it is critical that you take time to review your estate plan on a regular basis.

One of the first things to review is ownership of y our pr oper ty and w hether your beneficiar y designations on various accounts and policies are curre nt. If yo u have a trust, it will not work to avoid probate unless your assets are owned by the trust or can pass with beneficiar y designations or otherwise upon your death.

If y ou are married, y ou may want to

make sure your assets are jointly owned. Life changes that may result in the need for an update include: change in marital status; death of a spouse or partner ; birth or adoption of child(ren); minor child(ren) become adults; change in net wor th; inheritance; moving to a different state; purchase of real estate; change in relationship with one of the designated fiduciaries: executor, guardian, healthcare representative.

If any of these changes apply to you, reach out to discuss reviewing your plan, 541-588-2414 or www.beaverstatelaw.com.
