Friday, September 11, 2009 Press Coverage of Estate Planning This Week (September 11, 2009)Kara McGuire of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes about the importance of cabin trusts when passing a family camp from one generation to the next, particularly if several families will be sharing it going forward.
