Update Estate Plans in Light of New Tax Law
From the Kiplinger Magazine website
The new tax law has led some seniors to assume that they can delete estate planning from their to-do lists. But that is a dangerous assumption.

But before you take your estate planner off speed dial, consider this: The sharp increase in the federal exemption amount means that old wills and trusts may be in urgent need of an update.
