From Holiday Conversations to Action

Estate Planning

By Robert M. Goldberg

Your Year-End Estate Planning Checklist

Did your Thanksgiving gathering spark important family discussions about the future? You’re not alone. Many of our clients find holiday conversations naturally lead to thoughts about estate planning and legacy.
As we move into December, here’s a practical checklist to turn those family discussions into action:

  1. Review Your Current Plan:
  • Has your family situation changed?
  • Have there been significant changes in your assets?
  • Are your beneficiary designations up to date?
  1. Consider Year-End Tax Planning:
  • Annual gift exclusions expire December 31
  • Charitable giving opportunities
  • Required minimum distributions from retirement accounts
  1. Update Important Documents:
  • Wills and trusts
  • Healthcare directives
  • Powers of attorney
  • Insurance beneficiaries

Don’t let these important tasks get lost in the holiday shuffle. Our team is here to help you complete your estate planning before year’s end.

Testimonials

What our clients say about us

The Goldberg Team guided my family through wills, trusts, POAs, and Medicaid applications when both parents needed urgent care. Their compassion and expertise carried us through their passing within eight months. Jessica’s clarity and patience were invaluable—handling paperwork, explaining every step, and lifting the burden from my shoulders. Robert Goldberg and his team are unmatched in elder law and estate planning—knowledgeable, empathetic, and a true source of support during life’s hardest transitions.

Jordan’s full testimonial

Roy Jordan

I would like to thank Robert Goldberg for being in Zebulon, GA. I would also like to thank his well trained and professional team. I would mention names, but they were all so good, I’m afraid I may miss someone. Their upfront billing schedule and continued attention to detail made an experience that I put off for years a very good experience. The peace of mind is great to have!

Bradley Adams

Robert M. Goldberg & Associates helped me navigate my mother’s stroke care, my father’s estate planning, and later, settling his estate after his passing. Their knowledge, guidance, and support carried me through incredibly difficult times. I would have been lost without them. If you need an elder lawyer, you won’t find a more skilled or compassionate team than Robert Goldberg and his associates.
