How long is a will good for?

It is "good" until it is revoked. Note that you can revoke your will at any time. Changes in circumstances after the execution of the will, such as tax law changes, death, marriage, divorce, birth of children, or even a substantial change in the nature or amount of your estate, may raise questions as to the adequacy of your will. Such changes require a careful analysis and reconsideration of all the provisions of your will and substantial life changes often make it advisable to change the will (and perhaps other parts of your estate plan) to fit with the new situation.

Whether your estate is large or small, you probably need an estate plan. For more information on estate planning, call us at 206-782-0722.
