Welcome to another episode of the Leverage Life Show.

In this episode, Kyler Offenbacker and Kord Offenbacker continue The Diagnostic series by tackling a critical question many families overlook:

When was the last time you updated your estate plan?

Most people create an estate plan and assume they are finished. But life changes, laws evolve, assets grow, and family dynamics shift. A plan that worked five years ago may no longer reflect your current reality.

Kyler and Kord break down the three major triggers that signal it may be time to revisit your estate plan, including life changes, legal updates, and asset growth. From new children and marriages to divorces, business partnerships, and changes in tax law, they explain why staying proactive matters.

The episode also highlights the real-world consequences of outdated planning and how failing to revisit documents can lead to unnecessary taxes, family disputes, legal complications, and confusion during already difficult moments.

At its core, this conversation reinforces a simple principle:

Estate planning is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing process.
