I’ve never been a big fan of About.com. Everything about it screams “Web 1.0” to me in the way it is organized, marketed, and advertised. That being said, in the internet, “Content is King” no matter who is behind it.
I recently stumbled upon the About.com:Wills & Estate Planning area which is run by Key West Attorney Julie Garber, who geographically speaking at least is more of a South Florida Estate Planning attorney than I am. (Although truth be told, it’s more like North Cuba). I think she does a great job of running the site, which is chock full of straightforward well written articles by her.
I wish that at the bottom of the front page there wasn’t a Sponsored Link for “Easy Online Will $19.95,” but that’s about.com’s doing and not hers.
Check out Julie’s Post on “Are Gifts to Your Spouse Taxable” for the type of posts that are over there.
