Will Your Estate Plan Still Work If You Move?

July 23, 2020 By Bruce Berger

Before the pandemic, Americans were as mobile as ever. In the prior decade, millions of Americans moved each year. Here’s a link for more information on moving in America.

If you move from one state to another, your primary dispositive plan may still be valid, but some aspects might not work as well in your new state.

Planning for Incapacity

In other states, a Will need not be witnessed by others, as long as it is entirely in the handwriting of the testator and signed by the testator at the end of it. Though the rules vary a little among the states, they are quite specific and there is little leeway for mistakes.
