What is the rationale for taxing estates and distributions of assets to heirs? Do you feel that this practice is fair? Please explain. What are two methods of estate preservation you would recommend to a high net worth client hoping to pass assets on to their heirs? Find an example of an unusual will, or a will with unusual provisions, a famous estate in testate (and how long it takes to resolve) or a will that was contested. What makes your example uncommon and could this or was this contested successfully? What is the best method of disinheriting someone?
