National Estate Planning Awareness Week (Oct. 15-21). 

What’s that? As Forbes Senior Editor Deborah L.  Jacobs put it in a recent post: “It’s a bit of a contrivance by lawyers in the field to get you to seek out their services. But it’s also a good time to take stock of your life and do what’s necessary.”
