Friday, February 26, 2010 Press Coverage of Estate Planning this Week (Feb. 26, 2010)
Mark S. Eghrari, Esq., writes in Forbes that you shouldn’t expect your estate plan will get a free pass because of the lapse of the federal estate tax in 2010. He suggests presuming there will be an estate tax in existence at your death, and recommends credit shelter trusts, irrevocable gift trusts, and family limited partnerships, among other estate planning vehicles.

Lawrence Brock, Esq., writes in ChinoHills.com (Chino, Calif.) about common estate planning mistakes, including not having an estate plan, selecting the wrong trustee, failing to plan correctly for large IRAs, and not talking to your family about your plan.
