The first step in developing or reviewing your estate plan is to look at your current situation, to know where you are today and to assess what you want to do. An estate plan, like any plan, reflects your situation and what you want to do at the time it is prepared. As your personal circumstances change, your financial plans, both current and future, should be reviewed and updated.
