The article was posted by Forbes and can be accessed at http://forbes.com/sites/robclarfeld/2012/04/25/7-major-errors-in-estate-planning/?typ. We like to know that other planners experience the same issues, and sometimes to hear it from someone else helps you to "hear" it!This article addresses the benefits in having an estate plan, the risks associated with not having an estate plan, and common errors within those plans. The article also stresses the importance that "Estate Planning is not a Do It Yourself (DIY) task" and "relying on discounted, on-line estate planning documents is not only going to leave you uninformed and unadvised, but you also take the risk for inadequancies to be discovered in those documents when examined post-mortem."
