Lottery Winners Create More Estate Planning Business

LotterywinnerWining the lottery is one way to increase a person’s need for estate planning.  As evidence of this, an Idaho man who once lived in homeless shelters recently won $250,000 on a scratch ticket, and he plans to set up a trust account for his daughter with some of the money.

See AP, Once Homeless, Now a Lottery Winner, March 5, 2010. 

Special thanks to David S. Luber (Attorney at law, Florida Probate Attorney Wills and Estates Law Firm) for bringing this to my attention.
