A THOUGHTFUL PLACE TO START

The checklist helps you organize three areas worth bringing to a planning conversation.

Estate-Planning Review Checklist

FREE PLANNING RESOURCE

Use this checklist to identify life changes, organize information, and prepare meaningful questions about your plan.

  • Review beneficiaries, backup choices, and named decision-makers.

  • Gather information about property, accounts, and related documents.

  • Check document storage and create a practical list of next steps.

You do not have to resolve every question today. Start by knowing what you have and what needs review.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

A legal membership can provide access to guidance to help you understand your options and ask questions about your planning needs. The services available, including trust preparation, depend on the plan and its terms.
