📋 Plan within 6 months

An estate plan that was right 5 years ago is probably wrong today.

Tax laws change, asset values change, family circumstances change, and relationships change. A 5-year review is the minimum cadence for a $2M–$30M household. Most people are significantly overdue.

What changes at the $2M–$30M level

Federal estate tax exemptions have changed — your plan may be calibrated to numbers that no longer apply
Asset values have likely grown — you may be above thresholds you weren't near 5 years ago
Beneficiary designations set years ago may no longer reflect your intentions
Family circumstances — births, deaths, marriages, divorces — may require plan updates
Trust structures and gifting strategies may need rebalancing given changed tax law and asset values
