Each year, the third full week in October is designated as National Estate Planning Awareness Week — a dedicated time to emphasize how vital estate planning really is for everyone.
Why This Week Matter
More than half of U.S. adults don’t have an up-to-date estate plan in place. In California Only about 1 in 3 adults have taken steps to create an estate plan (will, trust, or equivalent).
Without a clear plan, your wishes may not be honored, your family may face confusion, and your assets may be subject to probate or unintended distribution.
California official guidance reminds residents that estate planning is not just for the wealthy and that wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance health care directives should be considered by everyone.
What You Should Do This Week
- Take stock of your documents: Do you have a will, living trust, power of attorney, advance health care directive? Are they up to date?
- Consider life changes: Events such as marriage, divorce, having children, changes in your asset portfolio, or moving to/from California can all trigger the need to update your plan.
- Seek professional guidance: At Tyre Law Group, we specialize in California-based estate planning — including trusts, wills, incapacity planning, and probate avoidance. We’ll help you create or review a plan that reflects your current situation and values.
- Talk to your loved ones: Let them know where your documents are located, who your appointed agents or trustees are, and your intentions. Clarity ensures your family acts from your wishes — not the default possibility.
