Portland, Oregon Estate Lawyer: What If I Change My Mind? The Flexibility of Estate Planning

Letter block beads spell out "CHANGE" on top of graph paper

A common concern we hear from clients is hesitation to appoint specific individuals to roles of authority in their estate plan. They worry about changing their mind and feeling "locked in" to those choices. The truth is your estate plan is not set in stone. In fact, it's designed to evolve with you.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. Marriages, divorces, births, deaths, career changes, new relationships – all of these can impact your wishes and the individuals you trust to carry them out. Your estate plan should reflect these changes, ensuring that your assets and healthcare decisions are handled according to your current intentions.

That's why we emphasize building long-term relationships with our clients. Estate planning isn't a one-and-done transaction. It's an ongoing process that requires regular review and updates to stay current with your life. We proactively stay in touch, reminding you of the importance of keeping your plan up-to-date and guiding you through any necessary amendments.

So, don't let the fear of changing your mind hold you back from creating a truly comprehensive estate plan. We guarantee that your wishes will evolve over time, and we're here to help you make those changes seamlessly. Call us at (503) 235-5150.
