Stress Test Your Estate Plan: Will It Hold Up When Life Changes?

Having an estate plan in place is an important first step—but simply having documents isn’t enough. The real question is whether your estate plan will still work when life changes, conflict arises, or the unexpected happens. That’s where stress-testing your estate plan comes in. Stress-testing means reviewing your plan through the lens of real-life scenarios to make sure it still protects you, your loved ones, and your intentions when it matters most.
