The documents in your estate plan are excellent tools, and like the tools in your shed, they need to be kept sharp to maximise their effectiveness.
Preventative Maintenance is essential. It’s the same for most important things in life.
Take your car for example. If you are doing what you should, you change your car’s oil every year or 10,000 kms.
You invest in maintenance and preventative care throughout the life of your vehicle, to keep it reliable and running well.
You might belong to some form of roadside assistance club such as the RAA, to rescue you in times of trouble.
You will have automatic third-party insurance as part of the annual registration, and chances are that you probably have comprehensive insurance as well, just in case.
That’s a multi-layered protection plan, to guard against bad things happening to you & others you care about because of your car.
Estate plans are much like cars. They are both “vehicles” to take you where you want to go, and you need them to perform efficiently and reliably, especially if an emergency crops up.
And great plans, like great cars, need regular review by a dedicated service staff to provide diagnostics and service before they are needed urgently.
You should ensure that your estate plan is always up to date and working as it should: it needs to always comply with changes in your personal circumstances, and always comply with changes to the law.
You can save yourself and your loved-ones lots of time, money & grief by maintaining your Estate Plan, and by doing this you will likely reduce the expense of the administration of your deceased estate.
Gain peace of mind by keeping your integrated estate plan up to date, and make sure you aren’t leaving unfinished business to your loved ones in their time of grief.
