It stands to reason there are not enough customers to supply the growing number of estate tax planners & lawyers. They have to say something to the genral public to convince them their services are required. When they blatantly lie & use scare tactics to convince you to use them then how can you trust one to tell you the truth. Nobody should be afraid to talk to their State tax dept, division of estate & inheritance tax to determine whether their specific situation requires filling an estate or inheritance tax return. If you know of an honest one in New Jersey let me know.
