Date: March 20th, 2017 6:20 PM Author: Topaz Excitant Lodge Trust Fund is this a serious question? if your parents' finances are worth nothing to you, then whatever, throw their money away. but estate planning is on the verge of death right now as a lucrative field, and the upside is not very high even if the estate tax does stick around.

Date: March 20th, 2017 6:51 PM Author: 180 Hell Round Eye No worries. I think I understand why they're terrified. I have heard that the estate tax isn't going anywhere, and even if it does get repealed, there will still be a demand for sophisticated estate planning for wealthy people...but I have also gotten the sense that it is not the most lucrative area unless you're cornering that rich niche market. Unfortunately, it's also the area of the law that I find the most interesting. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3558851&forum_id=2#32876100) |

Date: March 20th, 2017 6:54 PM Author: Topaz Excitant Lodge Trust Fund It's true that there will still be a demand, but consider that six years ago, there was many times the demand (before the exclusion went up five-tenfold) and those attorneys aren't all dead yet. They're junkyard dogs out there, huntin' for SCRAPS (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3558851&forum_id=2#32876109) |
