When Should You Start Estate Planning?
It is never too early to start estate planning. Creating a plan is particularly important if you have recently experienced major life changes, such as:
- Marriage or divorce
- The birth or adoption of a child
- Purchase of a home or property
- A significant career change or increase in assets
- Reaching retirement age
We must also note that it is not too late to create or adjust an estate plan if you have not done so. While advanced planning is usually much easier and more flexible, you have many options available for managing your affairs and assets in last-minute situations. Our Norman estate planning lawyers welcome the opportunity to support clients at any stage of life.

The Benefits of Estate Planning
Above, we mentioned some of the benefits of estate planning. What follows are further details about these benefits and others:
- Peace of mind - Knowing your affairs are in order allows you to focus on living life to the fullest without worrying too much about the future.
- Avoiding probate - Proper planning lets you transfer assets to beneficiaries without going through probate first, which is notoriously lengthy and costly.
- Asset protection - The right strategy and estate planning tools can safeguard your wealth from excessive taxes, creditors, and long-term care costs.
- Care for family - By clearly outlining your wishes, you can effectively look after your loved ones even after you are gone. This is especially important for minor children, elderly parents, or individuals with special needs.
- Medical and financial control - Documents like powers of attorney and advance directives empower you to choose who will make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
