Common Estate Planning Mistakes in Pennsylvania


Avoid the three most common estate planning mistakes Pennsylvania families make.


Estate planning mistakes are rarely dramatic.

 

They are usually silent.

 

Mistake one: relying solely on joint accounts without a broader strategy.

 

Mistake two: naming minor children as direct beneficiaries.

 

Mistake three: failing to update documents after major life changes.

 

Marriage, divorce, birth of a child, new business ownership — all require review.

 

Estate plans should be reviewed every three to five years.

 

Planning once is not planning forever.

 

If it has been years since you reviewed your documents, schedule a consultation with Sojourner Law, PLLC.
