If oyu're a Pennsylvania resident, you may feel that the Michael Jackson probate and various cour hearing have nothing relevant for you. However, the contorted case really shows the need for strategic and smart estate planning.
In Pennsylvania, where the probate system is relatively simple and easy to use (many families are able to "opt out" by agreement) there is a temptation to just "do my will and be done with it."
But, the truth is that careful and effective planning takes a little longer and is marginally more expensive but works to save time, protect assets, reduce taxes, and in the end saves your legacy and protects your heirs.
