]]> Comment on Estate Planning Myths & Misconceptions – Myth #3 – An Estate Plan Is Not A Will by Norman Solberg http://www.jerseyestateplanning.com/blog/disability/myth-3-an-estate-plan-is-not-a-will/#comment-15 Norman Solberg Thu, 31 Dec 2009 01:32:57 +0000 http://www.jerseyestateplanning.com/?p=173#comment-15 That is useful advice. I tell my estate planning clients in Japan that a typical plan involves first, careful analysis and only then, several documents, only one of which is the will. There are several objectives, including asset disposition, cost savings, provision for minor and special needs children, generation skipping, health care and financial authority when one is incapacitated, etc. -- and a will alone will not cover these. There are clients who only need a simple will, but the person with a family is unlikely to be in that category. In Japan, so many companies (even giant ones) are family businesses, so business succession planning is also needed. That is useful advice.

People are usually surprised how much time and work it takes to do good planning. I hope a few readers take you up an this amazing evaluation fee waiver. it's a no risk way to decide if you are the lawyer for them.

From those of us who know to those of you who don't: this is no advertising propaganda--It is absolutely correct. It tells us why we have so much trouble explaining the difference between counselling and design vs the drafting of "its." Victor: this is a wonderful article.

Do-it-yourself estate planners and those who shop for a lawyer based only on the cost of estate planning "documents" often pay a much steeper price than what it would have cost to plan properly at the outset. Anyone can check out the "Estate Planning Horror Stories" on my website for real world examples of such "penny-wise and pound foolish" thinking. Victor, You are exactly right!
