  • Name the people who should make decisions if you cannot.
  • Review how major assets are owned and expected to transfer.
  • Check whether beneficiary designations support the plan.

Common questions

Do I need an estate plan if I do not consider myself wealthy?

Estate planning is not only about the size of an estate. It is about deciding who can act for you, how property should transfer, and how to make your wishes easier to follow.

How often should I review my plan?

A review may be appropriate after a major life change or when several years have passed. Jennifer can help you decide whether an update is needed.

What if probate has already started?

You can still ask for help. Harlow Law Office can review what has happened and discuss the available next steps.

A clear plan starts with a conversation.

Whether you are planning ahead or handling responsibilities after a death, you do not have to sort through every question alone.
