This season is the perfect time to do a little spring-cleaning, but it’s not just your closets and drawers that could use a refresh! It’s a great practice to get into the rhythm of periodically updating your estate plan as the circumstances of your life are constantly evolving. Here are some excellent ways to dust off your current plan and ensure you’re prepared for whatever comes next! MILESTONES Have any significant changes in your life happened that might mean updates to your will or trust? If there has been a death or marriage in your family, think about what you might want to do in your plan to address it. Sometimes, minor details, such as an address change for a beneficiary, can cause the biggest headaches for your heirs in the future. ASSETS Journaling is an excellent way to declutter your mind, and you can also use it to organize your estate this spring. Jot down a list of your assets and note any changes that may have occurred. Life events like purchasing a home or starting a new business may change your finances and plans for your assets. DOCUMENTS As you empty drawers and file cabinets in your home, look for outdated documents related to your will and other aspects of your estate. Shred the old paperwork because it can confuse your heirs later on. You only need to ensure the most recent copy of these critical documents is available. You should keep any estate planning documents in a secure, designated location. As you spruce up your home this spring and prepare for the rest of the year, don’t sweep your estate planning under the rug. Regular reviews and updates to your plan will ensure that your wishes will be faithfully carried out. When the cold dissipates and flowers bloom, it’s time to make your estate plan squeaky clean and fresh. TIDY UP YOUR LEGACY THIS SEASON HOW TO SPRING-CLEAN YOUR ESTATE PLAN

Citrus BBQ Chicken

INGREDIENTS • 8 skin-on chicken leg and thigh pieces

• 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce • 2 tsp ground cumin • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika • Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 1/3 cups ketchup • 2 tbsp brown sugar

• Juice and zest of 1 orange • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

DIRECTIONS

1. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine all other ingredients in a small bowl. 2. Reserve 1 cup of the sauce and add the rest to the plastic bag. Toss to evenly coat the chicken and marinate overnight. 3. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add remaining sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer to thicken sauce, about 10 minutes. Set aside. 4. On grill set for medium-high heat, arrange chicken skin side down. Cook until grill marks form, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken, cover grill, and cook until a thermometer inserted into thighs reads 165 F, about 20–25 minutes. 5. Serve with remaining sauce.
