7 Estate Planning Mistakes That Cost Families Thousands
Estate planning mistakes aren’t just legal issues—they’re family issues.
Here are 7 of the most common (and costly) mistakes:

It doesn’t—your family still goes to court.
2. Not Having a Plan
This leaves everything up to the state.
3. Not Funding Your Trust
An unfunded trust won’t work.
4. Failing to Update Your Plan
Life changes—your plan should too.
5. Choosing the Wrong Executor
Poor choices lead to conflict and delays.
6. Ignoring Incapacity Planning
You could lose control while still alive.
7. Using DIY Documents
Online templates often fail when needed most.
