Talk:Estate planning

Country specific
Because each state's laws regulating transfer of wealth at death differ, i.e. stepped up basis, the article should be nation specific and not world wide.

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wikipedia fails again!
This article mentions NOTHING about WHY people do this.. and it glosses over the big picture for those who are not financially savvy.. this process allows the wealthiest among us to retire off mediCAID benefits.. Mostly because mediCARE will not cover the increasingly attractive "LONG TERM CARE" insurance coverage, while mediCAID will.. but only if you *appear* poor enough to qualify.

Lawyers and Accountants will set up all-day "Estate Planning" sessions at country clubs to help the wealthiest among us appear poor on paper. Middle Classers such as myself are getting shat on, since we are too wealthy to qualify for medicaid, yet not wealthy enough, not financially savvy enough, and we lack the "connections" in these industries to help us pose as poor people. --24.228.3.70 (talk) 16:55, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

International Issues / Info by Nation
I have no objection at all to making this article international in scope, but the U.S. section is cursory and the Malaysian section is focused principally on will drafting and intestate succession as opposed to being more generally about estate planning. The Malaysia section also appears to contain original research.

Should this article include estate planning information by nation and, if so, how general or comprehensive should that content be? Arllaw (talk) 05:20, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
