I am sure when you completed your estate plan you felt relief and confidence that all was in place for your loved ones. However, time marches on. Just as your life changes, your trust needs to change to fit your new circumstances. The little ones who were on your lap when you first set up your trust, may have little ones of their own now. The assets you own likely have multiplied or increased in value. The people you listed as executors or trustees may no longer be able to aid you and family dynamics may have changed. It is important to note that most older trust documents fail to include incapacity planning or government benefit provisions for trustees, such as Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.
