Will your estate attorney outlive you?

Interesting article in State Journal-Register yesterday. Percentage of attorneys in Illinois who are are between 50-74 years old went from 22% in 1993 to 39% in 2008.

Fairly often, I hear new clients tell me they were looking for someone "younger than they are" to be around to handle their estate and help the family after they're gone. I don't market myself that way, but I guess it makes sense.

Hire Dave - the estate planning attorney young enough to outlive you!
