Multiply your potential, exponentially.
Most estate plans fail quietly. Not because the documents are bad, but because no one remembers what they say, who is named, or whether the plan still matches the family. A review is not a rewrite. It is a reality check.
Priority consideration: confirm that your current documents still match your family, your assets, and your intent.
Why it matters: outdated beneficiaries, missing powers of attorney, and unfunded trusts create expensive surprises at the worst time.

Who is in charge. Trustees, executors, and backups are still the right people and still alive.
Who gets what, and when. Distribution ages and rules still match how you want the next generation to receive assets.
How assets flow. Trusts only work when assets are titled properly. A trust that is never funded is just a binder.

Beneficiaries beat documents. Retirement accounts and insurance pay based on beneficiary designations, not the will. Those need to match your intent.
If you want a plain-English extraction of your documents, use the Estate Planning review. Store everything in the Vault so your team can actually find it when needed.
