ESTATE PLANNING BLOG, LIVING TRUSTSBy Mark KleinOctober 21, 2016

Most of us share the same objectives for our estate plan: 1) provide for our spouse or dependent children; 2) distribute our property; 3) plan for our disability; and 4) reduce our estate taxes. Unfortunately, most of us fail to put together a plan that achieves these goals. There are many approaches that can be…

Take the Time to Update Your Will

ESTATE PLANNING BLOG, LIVING TRUSTSBy Mark KleinOctober 21, 2016

By some accounts, 70% of adult Americans do not have a will. If you have at least gone to the trouble of making a will, consider yourself ahead of the curve and pat yourself on the back. Then come back to earth and understand that your work is not completely done. A will is not…
