Estate planning documents can be confusing, hard to follow in some cases.  There are a lot of moving parts and important decisions contained in the language of each document.  Where do you begin to make sure your old estate plan reflects your current goals and needs?

I mentioned in this post that I was going to do something to help you decipher and understand your estate plan.  I’ve designated September as “Know Your Estate Plan” month here on the Connecticut Medicaid & Estate Planning Blog.  Each week in September I will feature an article on a basic core element of every estate plan.  Hopefully by the end of the month you will have a clearer understanding of your estate plan and can be confident it accomplishes your goals.  If you are concerned about your estate plan after reading this series, I will be offering one estate plan review free of charge to a selected reader, a $350.00 value.

This series will bring us up to my Medicaid Protection workshop in October which will discuss strategies to protect assets from nursing home costs after the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and subsequent changes to Title 19 Medicaid protection laws here in Connecticut.
