The Bottom Line for Estate Plans

Lynn Balou, a financial planner in the San Francisco Bay area, published an update of important points to consider in estate planning. Her final exhortation summarizes well the purpose and effect of a good estate plan:

And then, revisit your plan from time to time, but mostly just get on with your life and enjoy!
