Might As Well Stay Hitched?

Remember Dorothy Parker's advice to the suicidal?

Razors pain you; Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give;

Gas smells awful; You might as well live.
Like living, marriage starts to look like the lesser evil after reading Ron Lieber's Financial Decisions to Make as You Divorce. To the problems he lists you can add one more: the need for new estate planning.

These days, that need may well lead people to seek wills and trusts online. At the WSJ, Jane Hodges conducted a comparative Test of Online Wills. Suse Orman offered the best price, plus an alert about the changing estate tax.
