Estate planning has changed dramatically over the past few years, for reasons that relate to both tax and nontax developments.

In addition, recent estate tax legislation should be considered. The 2001 Tax Act increased estate exemptions and reduced estate tax rates.

Unfortunately, many people assume that a federal or state government program will help them pay for their long-term care expenses.
