Each year, the third full week of October is recognized as National Estate Planning Awareness Week—and in 2026, it falls October 19-25. This annual observance serves as an important reminder of the value of having a comprehensive estate plan in place.
Estate planning is more than just drafting a will—it’s about ensuring your wishes are honored, your loved ones are protected, and your assets are distributed efficiently and according to your intentions. Without an estate plan, state laws determine how your property is divided, which can create unnecessary delays, expenses, and even disputes among family members.
Whether you’re just starting to think about your estate plan or it’s time to review and update existing documents, now is a good time to take action. Our estate planning attorneys at FOS can help you create or revise your plan to reflect your current goals and family circumstances.
