Get Your Estate Planning Documents in Line
One of the more obvious pitfalls to avoid is to actually have estate planning documents in line. Although you may have intentions of putting together an estate plan, it is important to begin now. It is always better to have an estate plan in place years early rather than being one day too late. It is also important to coordinate all of the legal documents including: wills; any asset ownership forms; trusts; and medical directives. This can keep things organized in order to eliminate any potential headaches for family members in the future.
