Should my LLC interest be included in my estate plan?

Yes. LLC interests and business interests should be reviewed as part of your estate plan.

That may mean updating the operating agreement, assigning the LLC interest to the trust, coordinating the LLC with the trust, or making sure the right person has authority after death or incapacity.

Business interests are easy to overlook because they do not always show up like a bank statement. But they matter.
