Estate planning is about more than just dividing up your assets. The details in your estate documents can make or break your entire plan. Some clauses are especially risky because they depend on specific dates. If you miss or misinterpret these, your wishes might not be carried out at all. That’s why understanding date-sensitive clauses in estate documents is so important. These details can override everything else, leading to unintended consequences or even canceling your entire plan.
