Do You Have a Healthy Estate Plan? Answer These Vital Questions
Estate planning is different if you are 28 or 58 and retiring. Make sure you and your loved ones are not at risk.
Your Estate Planning Checkup
If you already have an estate plan, then take this quiz to see how healthy it is. Use this checkup to make sure your estate plan stays in good health. Answer Yes, No or Unsure to these questions:

□ I have a strategy in place to save probate and income taxes.
□ I have provided for loved ones with special needs.
□ I have a plan to deal with my business if I die.
□ I regularly preview my estate plan to ensure that it achieves my goals.
□ I review my loved ones’ needs so my estate protects them.
□ I have an updated inventory of assets and valuable documents.
