Fulfill New Year’s resolutions. For many, a new year sparks renewed efforts to start estate planning, but it often takes a few weeks to get everything in order. Deciding on the right attorney, organizing your financial documents, and contemplating crucial decisions about your future all require time and thought. By the time spring rolls around, many are ready to move forward with their plans. Harness the energy of spring. Spring cultivates vitality, not just in nature but also in our personal lives. As the world around us blooms, so does our capacity for productivity. This season of growth and renewal is an optimal time to channel some of that natural momentum into getting important tasks done. Estate planning can sometimes be a daunting task, easily put off. However, treat it just like spring-cleaning and get it done! Beat the summer slowdown. The leisurely days of summer are almost upon us when priorities often shift to travel and family time. Many find the carefree summer months less conducive to initiating new and complex projects like starting an estate plan. It’s easier and less time-consuming to update an existing plan than start from scratch, so those without an estate plan should ideally begin in spring. For existing clients, summer can still be an opportune time to review and tweak their documents, and many make the time for check-ins during the summer months. Spring not only inspires us to clean our homes but also to organize our lives. Now is the time to start planning and enter summer with peace of mind, knowing your affairs are in order. Whether you’re starting fresh or updating existing arrangements, let the renewal energy of spring lead you to take this crucial step for your future. Why Now Is the Perfect Time for Estate Planning
