Information contained in these pages is NOT an acceptable substitute for personal legal advice from an attorney who is:
- licensed in the state where you live;

Because this site is general and cannot address all excepts and unique situation and because some of the information may not be complete or up-to-date, you cannot rely on the information on this site in making estate- or tax-planning decisions. More to the point, you should never rely on general estate planning information. The problems with a poorly designed estate plan--which may include a will or trust that is legal but inadequate--will not usually surface until it is too late to correct. Acting on general information can be penny wise and pound foolish.
Although this web site includes pages that discuss tax issues, nothing on this site contains legal or tax advice that can be relied on or otherwise used by a taxpayer for the purpose of either
- (1) avoiding tax penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer by the Internal Revenue Service or by a court or
- (2) promoting, marketing, or recommending any tax-planning strategy to another person.
You cannot obtain from any web site or book a "covered opinion" that is compliant with Circular 230 issued by the U. S. Treasury Department. If you desire a "covered opinion", you will need to engage an accountant or an attorney to discuss the scope and purpose of the opinion you want, as well as the time and expense that it will take to provide you with such an opinion. Because of the uncertainly of some tax issues, it is possible that you will not find anyone willing to give a covered opinion on specific tax-saving strategies or for particular situations.
