Oh my gosh, well yeah there are disadvantages - which are obvious. Advantages are that the cost basis becomes whatever the stock is on the date of your death, not what you paid for it. So if you had a very large gain your beneficiaries would only have to report a gain/loss based on what the stock was on the date of death.
