Rude-- the money I really hated to spend was only $2550 on an estate lawyer,, talk about UNknow ways to protect what you have from up to 55% estate tax. Anyone with a total net worth of $625K or more should not even be thinking about it,, needs done. Under $500K and its a bit easier... different thing in different states,, Ins benefits, house, stoks/ bonds/ vehicles-- does not take long to make Uncle Sams eyes light up.. and lighten your estate..

RUDEDOG: RE: Living Trust-My father had one and it worked very well-You do however need it seems to me to either have it domiciled with a really top drawer bank trust department who you have knowledge of the up- and coming going to be employeees -the people who will be doing the actual admiistrating OR a really reliable law frim that won't hose you to badly.In both cases you would want to appoint an OUTSIDE MM of your liking.Hard to find --but do your very best.I'm going to Boston where our two accountants are this year and do some estate planning.I'm 68 and I need to be unretrained and free with my portfolio so it is a tough call-I know it is not that contraining but extra paperwork etc.-The Living Trust is a dsamn good thing though-go for it.
