\\n\\nIn the early nineties, I began thinking creatively about this problem. My objective was to revolutionize my firm\\u2019s estate planning practice by drafting documents that could accommodate changing circumstances\\u2014the key, as I saw it, would be flexibility within a reasonable set of assumptions. Lange\\u2019s Cascading Beneficiary Plan, as it came to be called, uses specific language and disclaimers to provide the most flexibility when it is needed the most\\u2014at the time of the death of the first spouse when the surviving spouse and the family have the most current picture of their finances and family dynamics. We were aiming for less guesswork decades in advance!
