Rather they operate under dubious assumptions, as Elizabeth Shen, 66, a widow and mother of six in Arcadia, Calif., did when she approached Barney about estate planning. She had decided to appoint her eldest son and daughter co-executors, without telling them first. Barney suggested that she invite all six kids to the planning meeting.
