Many of our clients tend to breathe a sigh of relief once they sign their estate planning documents… but it doesn’t end there. Because laws change and family circumstances change, we have always offered estate plan review meetings to our clients to keep their estate plans current.

These periodic reviews are sufficient for some clients, but many experience more frequent life and family changes (births, adoptions, marriages, divorces, deaths, disability, etc.) that create a need to update their estate plan. When clients do come in for an estate plan review meeting, they often have minor updates or new concerns to look after. Those changes and costs can add up over the years. To make this review process even easier and more cost-effective for our clients, we created our client care program called the Annual Maintenance Program (AMP). This optional program gives clients the opportunity to make their estate plan easier to maintain for a reasonable annual flat fee. It also provides them the reassurance that their estate plan will be current and work the way they want it to when it is needed most.

How many times have you thought about coming in to address a family change or a new concern but you were afraid of what it might cost? With our Annual Maintenance Program, the majority of the changes you may need to make are covered with an affordable annual flat fee!

This optional Annual Maintenance Program (“AMP”) is designed to help you keep your estate plan current and keep you informed about estate planning matters through an annual confirmation letter verifying the terms of your plan, an optional attorney meeting, periodic newsletters, and exclusive AMP member only seminars. Our law firm has always believed in routine reviews and keeping things current, but we’ve learned that if we leave it up to our clients, they seldom do it! The AMP is a simple, cost effective way for us to help you keep your plan current and you informed. Plus, there are huge benefits to others in your family.
