Here are some critical estate planning components to consider:

1. Is your power of attorney and health care proxy in place?
2. Have you evaluated your will?
3. Have you reviewed your trusts?
4. Have you thought about funding your trust now?
5. Have you updated your beneficiary designations?
6. Have you taken advantage of estate tax opportunities?
