Post-mortem estate planning: Post-mortem or after death estate planning is various techniques which are used to lessen the consequences that occur when there is no planning or poor planning. Poor planning is usually the result of minimal estate planning, i.e., simple wills or everything held jointly with right of survivorship, when in fact, more rigorous planning should have been done because either the estate or the beneficiaries need to save taxes. Postmortem estate planning is therefore often referred to as post-mortem tax planning.
