  5. If you become disabled, is your Power of Attorney document for financial decisions older than 5 years?
  6. If you become disabled, is your Power of Attorney document for health care decisions older than 5 years?
  7. Are there any gifts you would like to make to charities at your death that have not been clearly set forth in your planning documents?
  8. Is there any personal property that you would like distributed that have not been clearly set forth in your planning documents, including the care of any surviving pets?
  9. Since you signed your planning documents, have you changed your mind about any aspect of the plan?
  10. Has the value of your assets changed since you signed your planning documents?
  11. Have you added or changed the kind of assets you own since your planning documents were signed?
