If something is done legally, all within the legal maneuvers of the system, you may be offended but I think that is good estate planning. Why should one individual be any different in taking advantage of legal opportunities to avoid taxes or other types of expenses iwhen it comes to estate or tax planning, if...again..legal alternatives are available. I would not be asking anyone to pay anything for me that would not be available to others.
