OFFICIAL FORM(S) REQUIRED:
• Redrafting or Amendment
Many people forget to update their legal documents. Most often those that
must be changed are your:
• Will
• Health Care Proxy
• Living Will
• Trust
• Power of Attorney
• Contracts
Your Will (Last Will and Testament) can be the most important document to
update. Some people plan ahead and have a new Will made just before the
marriage. Unfortunately, planning ahead in this case often does not work. For
example, in Massachusetts a Will made prior to marriage, unless specific
language is incorporated into it, is voided by the subsequent marriage and will
have no effect. So much for planning ahead.
The other estate planning documents such as a Living Will, Trust, and Power
of Attorney will also need to be updated if you have them. If you do not have
them, now is the time to consider whether you need them.
Contracts is a big category. There are so many different types of legal
documents to update that it is highly situation specific. They can usually be
updated either through redrafting them or by drafting a short amendment. Each
document will have it's own requirements.
