South Florida Estate Planning Law: “I have long admired the Wall Street Journal and considered them a paragon of straightforward and relatively high level journalism. . . . Not anymore. Today, the Wall Street Journal has led their readers horribly astray in such a manner that may cause untold pain and suffering (along with substantial costs) to God knows how many people. I’m talking about their ‘review’ of do-it-yourself estate planning. Apparently, there is a recurring column in the WSJ entitled ‘Cranky Consumer.’ It should be titled ‘Idiot Consumer.’”
