Celebrity Estates: Updating Estate Plans Through Life’s Milestones


Listen Later

Life changes, and your estate plan should change with it. Attorney Matthew Erskine joins the Celebrity Estates podcast to explain why estate planning is never a “set it and forget it” process, but a lifelong practice that evolves alongside major milestones.

Matthew walks through key life events from marriage and divorce to relocation and retirement and shares how each can reshape a client’s estate strategy. Drawing from years of experience, he highlights how small updates, communication and awareness of changes in the law can prevent major family disputes.

Join Senior Editor David Lenok and Matthew Erskine, ower of The Erksine Company, as they discuss how to keep estate plans living, relevant and aligned with every stage of life.

David and Matthew discuss:

  • Why every major life event, from marriage to relocation, should trigger a review of your estate plan
  • The importance of communication between family members to avoid future conflicts
  • How to handle estate planning for beneficiaries facing personal challenges
  • The impact of tax and law changes on existing estate documents
  • Why advisors should treat estate plans as “living documents” and revisit them annually
