Tracy Troyer's response: Thank you for taking the time to share your comments, Jeff. We believe it is best to review your estate plan every three to five years because situations change and laws update. I am glad you took the time to review your estate plan with us so that your documents can reflect your current situation and what you want to accomplish. I look forward to reviewing your estate plan again!
