Survey Says: Wealthy Families Need To Update Their Estate Plans
A recent survey by Rothstein Kass indicates that many wealthy families who can afford financial offices still have estate plans that are out of date. ?Over 3/4 of the estate plans of the ultra-wealthy clients studied were at least three years old. ?This was the case even though almost 95% of those families have experienced significant life changes since drawing up their estate plans.?
The survey also found that 53% of the wealthy families interviewed did not have formal asset protection plans and 84% of life insurance plans have not been reviewed in over three years.?
Single-family office executives should help clients understand how important it is to review estate plans. Creating the estate plan is just the beginning--maintaining it allows one to take advantage of more benefits.?
