Easter is often a time for gathering with family, reflecting on renewal, and thinking about what matters most. While estate planning may not be the first thing on your mind during the holiday, it’s actually an ideal moment to pause and consider whether your plan is current—or if you even have one in place.
Here’s why Easter season is a smart time to review or start your estate plan—and what steps you can take.
Easter = Family, Legacy, and Planning Ahead
Whether you’re hosting a holiday meal or visiting loved ones, Easter naturally brings people together. It also reminds us that life is unpredictable, and that preparing for the future is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for the people you care about.
Estate planning is not just about death or assets—it’s about protecting your family, making your wishes known, and easing the burden on others if something happens to you.
3 Reasons to Revisit Your Estate Plan This Easter
1. You’ll Likely See the People You’re Planning For
If your children, grandchildren, or other loved ones are visiting, now’s a good time to:
- Reflect on who you want to be in charge if you’re incapacitated
- Reconsider who should receive specific assets
- Think about guardianship or trust planning if you have young kids or grandkids
2. Spring Is About Renewal—and So Is Your Plan
Has it been more than 3–5 years since you reviewed your will, trust, or power of attorney? Have you had major life changes (divorce, marriage, new baby, retirement)? If so, your plan likely needs a refresh.
Spring cleaning doesn’t just apply to your home—it applies to your legal documents too.
3. You May Have a Quiet Moment to Focus
Long weekends often bring a break from the usual schedule. Take an hour to:
- Review your current documents
- Make a list of what’s missing (e.g., no health care directive)
- Talk with a spouse or adult children about your wishes
