Beyond the standard questions, surface: (1) tax-planning opportunities (lifetime gifting, GRATs, ILIT), (2) special-needs or substance-abuse concerns affecting beneficiaries, (3) business succession issues, (4) prior estate plans that may need to be revoked, (5) digital asset planning. Format as a client-facing document with explanations of why each question matters.
