The Yearly Update List (optional — truly optional)

Estate planning numbers change every year — 2025 alone rewrote the small-estate limits in nine states. If you'd like one email a year with the refreshed state tables and a reminder for your Estate Check-up Day, you can join the update list. Nothing else, ever. The downloads above work without it.

The list is opening shortly — bookmark this page and check back, or simply return here around your Check-up Day for the newest tables.
