8 estate planning lessons from "Downton Abbey"

Downton Abbey is a huge hit, and I'm one of its most devoted fans. As an estate-planning lawyer, I've always secretly loved the fact that the main story line for this show derives from a derailed estate plan. So far, the fall-out from Lord Grantham's failed estate plan has taken up three seasons!

I was pleasantly surprised to find an article today talking about the estate planning lessons we can learn from this wonderful show. Hopefully the lessons to be gleaned from it will help the rest of us wind up our own estates in less than three seasons.  Click here to read the article from www.lifehealthpro.com .
