When millions of dollars are involved your estate planning attorney should be able to give advice on reducing the tax liability. With proper estate planning you should be able to save your heirs substantial amounts in taxes. An attorney should also be able to recommend ways of passing your estate along outside of probate court. Probate court can be time consuming and expensive.

Minor children are another aspect of estate planning you may need to deal with. It is a good idea to appoint a guardian for them, should anything happen to you.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
