You may think that drafting an estate plan is straight-forward, but in reality, if you do it wrong, you're jeopardizing everything you've worked for. Just because you have a Will or trust doesn't mean you've covered your bases. We'll share real-life stories, showing you the dangers of common estate planning mistakes such as using incorrect phrases in our documents or omitting important ones. Failing to fund or revoke a living trust, using ambiguous provisions, titling assets improperly and not updating beneficiary designations are just some of the blunders you must avoid! |
