Looking ahead, we wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. May the coming year bring fresh opportunities, renewed energy, and the confidence that you have a dedicated legal team ready to support you whenever the need arises.
Year-end legal tips for everyone
Below are a few general legal housekeeping items worth considering as you close out this year and plan for the next. These are not a substitute for legal advice regarding your specific situation, but they are good reminders to help protect you and your family.
Review wills, trusts, and beneficiaries
• Confirm your will or trust reflects current wishes, especially after marriages, divorces, births, deaths, or major financial changes.
• Check beneficiary designations on life insurance, retirement accounts, and payable-on-death accounts to ensure they align with your overall estate plan.
Update powers of attorney and healthcare directives
• Make sure your financial power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney, and living will accurately name the people you trust to make decisions if you cannot.
• Consider whether named agents are still available, capable, and willing to serve in these roles going into the new year.
Organize key documents and account information
• Store important documents—estate plan, insurance policies, deeds, titles, and key account information—in a secure but accessible place, and let a trusted person know how to find them.
• Create or update a simple, confidential list of online accounts and digital assets and how they may be accessed or managed if needed.
Review insurance coverage and risk exposure
• Revisit your auto, home, life, and umbrella policies to ensure coverage levels still match your assets, business activities, and family needs.
• For business owners, verify that liability, cyber, and professional coverage limits are adequate given any growth or changes this year.
Consider year-end tax and gifting opportunities
• Speak with your tax advisor about year-end strategies such as charitable contributions, annual exclusion gifts, or retirement account contributions that complement your legal and estate planning goals.
• Coordinating legal planning with tax planning can help reduce risk, minimize disputes, and preserve more of what you have built.
Business owners: review contracts and compliance
• Take time to review key contracts with vendors, customers, and employees, confirming that terms, renewal dates, and responsibilities are clear and up to date.
• Ensure your policies, handbooks, and corporate records reflect current laws and the way your business actually operates heading into the new year.
