Moving to a new state can be an exciting adventure, but amidst the hustle and bustle of relocating, it's crucial not to overlook the importance of updating your estate plan. Each state has its own set of laws governing Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney, which means that what was valid in your previous state may not hold true in your new one. Failing to update your estate plan could lead to unintended consequences, such as assets being distributed differently than you intended or your healthcare wishes not being honored. To ensure that your wishes are carried out properly and legally, it's wise to consult with an estate planning attorney in your new state as soon as possible after your move. By taking this proactive step, you can have peace of mind knowing that your affairs are in order, no matter where life takes you.
