"Relax, it's just a prank bro."

But seriously, your story is why I want to punch all those kids in their teeth when I see those stupid "prank" videos.

My cat lost almost 5 lbs before we noticed her hyperthyroid. This would have been a useful invention to have.

The estate tax exemption has risen drastically in recent years (it used to be as low as $675,000 per person!!!), so the $2,000,000 number you mention may have actually been the case a number of years ago.

With all the hoopla over "death taxes" in the last couple of years, do you get a lot of people looking for assistance that don't even come close to exceeding the exemptions? In such cases do you still advise trusts and what not?
