What’s the Most Common Mistake in Estate Planning?

Isn’t the goal of estate planning to not pay estate taxes?  Or maybe the goal of estate planning is to keep lawyers from getting all your money?  The fact is, these are probably not the biggest threat to your family’s health and security that occurs with a poor estate plan.  The most common mistake people make in estate planning is assuming that any will solves their problems.  Hire any old lawyer.  Get an online form.  If you have a will, all problems are solved.  Right?  Although failing to plan is no plan at all, most thoughtful people have visited an estate planning attorney at least once in their life to do a will.  If not out of date, most of those wills are still very ineffective.  The short video (only 17 minutes) to your left explains what you need to know to make sure you estate planning prepares for the curves life has ahead.
