Are Your Estate Planning Documents Ready for Use in Idaho?

Wills, trusts, advanced medical directives, and power of attorney documents of those who have moved to Idaho from other states should be reviewed with an eye toward Idaho law. People regularly move to Idaho from other states and bring with them estate planning documents created in their prior state of residence. Such people often ask me if their old estate planning documents are enforceable in Idaho. Generally, those documents are still valid in Idaho. However, there are some very important reasons to have estate planning documents from another state reviewed by an Idaho estate planning attorney. Let’s remind ourselves what each of these documents are and then consider some of the issues that create concern about out-of-state wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents.

Let’s remind ourselves what each of these documents are and then consider some of the issues that create concern about out-of-state wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents. A “Last Will and Testament” (“will”) is a document used to state what should happen to your possessions and assets when you die, as well as who should carry out those instructions you’ve left. Trusts come in many varieties, each with its own purpose. The most common type of trust used in estate planning is known as a “Revocable Living Trust”. A Revocable Living Trust is used to avoid the need for your estate to go through a court-controlled process called “Probate.”
