Your Will or Trust doesn't expire when laws change, and estate planning documents don't have an expiration date. If yours was properly executed at the time you created it, it remains legally valid even after state or federal laws change, unless you choose to update it yourself.
How Trust & Will keeps your plan current
Our legal team regularly monitors changes in state law and updates our templates accordingly. When updates are needed, they're automatically applied the next time you edit or download your documents. We'll reach out directly only if a major legal change could significantly affect existing plans.
Do I need to update my documents if laws change?
In most cases, no, law changes alone don't require action. We recommend revisiting your plan after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child, to make sure it still reflects your wishes. Whenever you do make changes, the new documents you sign will already reflect any state-specific legal updates, so you're covered automatically.
Who stands behind my plan?
Trust & Will stands behind the legal forms on our platform. If you purchase attorney support through us, they stand behind their own advice and carry malpractice insurance. Members make the final decisions on which forms to use and how to complete them, and are responsible for the information they enter and the choices they make.
