Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, Shannon Pawley, reminds readers why it is so important for surviving spouses to update their estate planning strategies upon the death of their spouse.

DECATUR, GA, October 29, 2021: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on the law firm’s website entitled “If Your Spouse Has Recently Passed Remember To Update Your Estate Plan,” in which Ms. Pawley reminds readers how important this single task is.

As Pawley states, “Death, it’s part of life.” She continues elaborating, “The comings and the goings never end. Sometimes it is an expected passing but too many times, especially in the last couple of years, it can happen unexpectedly. Those,” she says, “are the toughest of times – when a spouse passes suddenly and unexpectedly.”

According to Pawley, “Despite the circumstances of your spouse’s passing, the important thing for you, the surviving spouse to remember is that your estate planning strategy must be updated.” She emphasizes, “This is not an item on which to procrastinate. I know there are a seemingly endless number of things that must be done in the wake of that passing. However, updating your estate planning strategy needs to be very near the top of the list. I mean like the second or third item.”

Born and raised in the Tidewater area of Virginia to a tightknit family with strong military service roots, Shannon learned from an early age the value of hard work and the importance of social awareness to ensure you always leave a situation in a better place than how you entered it.

Walking away from her experience as a U.S. House of Representative Page, Shannon knew that she wanted to pursue legal studies and be able to assist others in obtaining the best results available in difficult situations.
