Relocating? Check your estate plans
If you plan to move to a different state, be sure to have your estate plans reviewed by an estate attorney in that state. Changes may be needed. For example, laws governing state income taxes and state inheritance taxes differ from state to state. Some states require you to name an executor who is a state resident. And there are durable-power of attorney and health-care directive issues that should be resolved to ensure that what you want is carried out.
