It is pretty much for the wealthy in the sense if you have over $1 million in assets, you've got to have some other things you're doing to keep the government's hands off the money in the process. Of course, the first element of the big estate plan is the will. There may be trusts, some other things built into that. That's not for everybody. It is something you kind of need to think through.
