Estate planning is a hot topic with potential law changes on the horizon and sunset back to the pre Tax Cut & Jobs Act amounts in 2026. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, JG Gassman, CPA/PFS, talks with Frazer Rice, J.D., about effective questions to use to engage with clients to make sure their plan is in order. Some may sense for new clients only and others are good to use to check in with ongoing clients. The questions are:
- Do you have an estate plan?
- Who prepared the estate plan?
- Was your family involved in the estate plan development?
- When was the last time you reviewed your estate plan?
- Is the estate plan you built properly implemented and funded?
