“Most Estate Plans Fail, Don’t Let Yours Be One of Them”

“About 70% of estate settlements are followed by asset losses or a reduction in family harmony” writes Bob Carlson for Forbes. It is a sobering thought to believe that a lifetime of hard work actually leads to a reduction in family accord more times than not. Carlson makes three phenomenal observations that we can all learn from when thinking about and implementing estate planning:

1. Follow through with the plan.
2. Periodically revisit the plan and revise as necessary.
3. Inform and prepare the next generation as well as you can.
