Many clients delay estate planning because they lack liquid funds to pay for it. Yet, right now, millions of Americans are receiving their tax refunds. There is a marketing opportunity here for the savvy estate planning attorney.
Consider this:
- 78% of Americans expect a tax refund.
- The average tax refund is over $3,000 (much more than the average cost of a new estate plan).
Call a marketing meeting this afternoon and figure out a way to reach new clients to create new estate plans and old clients to update their estate plans. They have cash. Convince them to spend it on your services.

Minnesota attorneys should be aware of new probate and trust law legislation recently signed into law. I have listed the highlights of the new laws on a guest post over at the Practice Law Blawg.
Additionally, in the post, I’ve listed 5 ways you can prepare for the most important (and potentially controversial) provisions of the new laws– those redefining the scope of parent-child relationships.
As an aside: the MSBA’s Practice Blawg frequently has posts of interest even to out-of-state attorneys. Make sure you check out this blog and consider adding it to your blog reader.
