Our November Trust Update is here! Have you ever heard the phrase “laughing heir”? According to Black’s Law Dictionary, it’s slang for an heir distant enough to feel no grief when a relative dies and leaves an inheritance (generally viewed as a windfall) to the heir. The term arose in a recent Wall Street Journal article about the growing number of childless older adults and their challenges. That was the jumping-off point for our lead article in this month's issue of our Trust UPDATE. We also discuss estate settlement and choosing an executor.
