End of the Year Moves Fast, Make Sure Your Plan Keeps Up

Every December, I find myself having the same conversation with friends, clients, and sometimes even my own family:
“How is it possible that the year is already over?”

It’s a strange feeling — the way time seems to fold in on itself. What feels like “just a few months ago” can turn out to be a year… or more. We blink, and a baby becomes a teenager. A job change becomes a career shift. A minor health scare becomes a wake-up call. A quiet year suddenly becomes the one that changed everything.

Life moves quickly, sometimes too quickly, and in a world that seems to spin faster every year, it’s easy to lose track of how much has changed until we stop and really look.

That’s why the end of the year is so important.

It’s a natural pause. A built-in reminder to reflect.
In the same way many people use this season to swap out batteries in smoke detectors or reset reminders on their calendar, this is also the perfect time to check in on your estate plan.

Because estate planning isn’t something we do once and forget. It’s something that should grow and evolve as your life grows and evolves.

At Abraham Law, we help families protect what means the most — their loved ones, their homes, their peace of mind. And part of that protection comes from making sure your plan actually fits the life you’re living today, not the life you had five, ten, or even twenty years ago.

As the year winds down, I encourage Michigan families to think about what has changed. Did you welcome a new child or grandchild? Did you retire, change careers, buy or sell a home? Did someone you named in your plan move away, pass on, or step into a different role in your life? Did the world shift in a way that made you think twice about your long-term decisions?

These life changes matter. They shape your wishes and your priorities, and your estate plan should reflect that.

The end of the year is not just a checkpoint — it’s a gift.
A moment to make sure everything is aligned, accurate, compliant, and clear. A moment to look at your life as it is today and ensure your wishes will be carried out exactly as you intend.

For those who have never created a plan before, this season is an even more powerful opportunity. Imagine starting the new year knowing your affairs are finally in order, your loved ones are protected, and your home and savings are secured. Imagine the peace that comes from clarity — the kind that lets you breathe easier because the “what ifs” aren’t hanging over your head anymore.

And the best part? You don’t have to figure it all out alone or dive into the process without guidance.

You can start simply — with a conversation.
A complimentary consultation where we talk through your goals, your changes, your concerns, and your options.

If you’ve been putting this off, let this be the moment you give yourself and your family the gift of certainty. The gift of protection. The gift of peace.

A new year is coming quickly, and time will continue to move at its remarkable pace. Before it does, take a moment to be intentional. Take a moment to reflect. Take a moment to make sure your plan is right for the life you’re living.

I’m here to help you do exactly that.
