Estate planning on your own can be complicated and costly. The list can seem overwhelming... state taxes, bureaucracy, probate courts, appraisals, eligibility of heirs, life insurance, IRA's, 401K's, annuities, burial or cremation costs, and intent regarding death-postponing treatment to name a few.
