I recently ran across this Forbes.com article and it struck a chord. Why? Because I hear the same thing all the time. Of course, you would expect that a Grand Rapids, Mi estate planning attorney would hear the comment quite often – so don’t take my word for it. Read the article! You may be surprised what an “estate” actually is.
Oh, and don’t forget to read a couple of my previous posts that drill down into a little more detail on what “estate” means. You can find out what a Michigan estate is by clicking here, and what your estate tax estate is by clicking here.
