Because You Can’t Take it with You Getting Started in Estate Planning "I think it’s irritating that once I die, 55% of my money goes to the United States government.… When you leave a house or money to people, then they’re taxed 55%, so you’ve got to leave them enough so that once they’re taxed, they still have some money." — Oprah Winfrey (from The Wall Street Journal, July 28, 1999) Few of us are as rich as Oprah, but whether your estate consists of an old Ford Thunderbird, your beloved dog, or millions of dollars in property and cash, in most cases, it will be left behind after you’re gone. As baby boomers approach retirement age and 401 (k) plans, stock options, and inherited wealth continue their dramatic growth, estate planning is increasingly necessary.
