The Stuart Legacy Alliance, LLC Offers Maintenance-Style Estate Planning as Good Option for Many Seniors
ROLLING MEADOWS, IL--(Marketwire - Oct 7, 2011) - In Martindale-Hubbell®'s groundbreaking 2007 survey on estate planning, 45% of all adult Americans have a will with an equal number having living wills as well (also known as medical directives). But while this almost even split may seem reasonable, the fact is that many hire an attorney to draft these documents and then let them sit untouched for years -- amidst varying life stages and important changes in estate and tax laws. This, according to Michael Stuart, an attorney, CPA and founder of The Stuart Legacy Alliance, LLC, is risky because it could severely compromise a person's original desires and put the distribution of assets into the hands of the state. Stuart says, "Most families are lulled into a sense of complacency. They think that because a lawyer drafted a plan, it will work for their family forever. In many cases, this simply isn't true."
