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.

I can’t say enough good things. Bob listened to my 88-year-old mother and talked through all of her concerns. Although some of mom’s requests were a bit unusual, he listened, explained, and gave us a finished product we are extremely happy with. After the last meeting, we all cried with relief because it is such a weight off our backs!

We needed assistance in determining how best to prepare for elderly parents and their care. The Goldberg team was most helpful in setting up a trust and providing legal options. The team was prompt and professional in every aspect and fully met our needs. My wife and I used Robert M. Goldberg & Associates for my Mother-in-law’s needs as well as our own will. Based on my experience, I can safely recommend them to others.
