Question

How do I locate and organize my estate planning documents?

Answer

Keep your original will and trust documents in a secure but accessible location — ideally a fireproof safe at home or a safe deposit box, with copies held by your estate planning attorney. Inform your executor, successor trustee, and healthcare proxy where these documents are stored. Maintain a list of assets, account numbers, insurance policies, and key professional contacts. Your wealth advisor can help you build a centralized document summary as part of your planning process.
