- Living Trusts:
-
- Pluses - can aviod some probate costs, can keep disposition of the estate
- private.
-
- Minuses - usually won't avoid death taxes.
-
- Real minuses - vastly over sold, often promoted by charletans, often
- recommended as "self help" device.
-
- My next book will be "Do you own Open Heart Surgery"
