Joyner Trust Law

10/14/2026

An estate plan can be legally valid and still fail to reflect your current life. Marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, a change in assets, or a move to Virginia can all be reasons to take a fresh look.

A review typically examines the people named in your plan, your beneficiary designations, whether your trust was funded, and whether your powers of attorney are still appropriate. It can also bring peace of mind when everything is already in order.

If your documents are more than a few years old, our firm would be glad to help you decide whether a review makes sense.
