Making a will is something that, because of the reason why we need to do it, is something that is easily put off - yet can lead to huge problems with probate if you don't write one in time.
Writing a last will and testament (to use the proper phrase for it) isn't as complicated as it used to be, and there are now many places online why you can write a legal DIY one!
Title : Succession (Green's Law Basics S.) Author : Alasdair Gordon Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Wills
This book will be benificary for any one persons needs who do not know all the meaningfull and technical terms. This book will give you all the important information about your wills and probates.
Title : The Law of Trusts (Butterworths Core Texts S.) Author : James Penner Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Excellent analysis and very useful
This is a clear and informative guide to the law of trusts that is written in a far more accessible style than most trusts textbooks.
The night before my Equity exam at university, I glanced through this book (in quite a state of desperation!) and found clear, concise explanations to several concepts I had been unable to fathom all year. For a full explanation of the law, you may wish to turn to a weightier tome, but if you want to understand the key principles of trusts at degree level and have a reasonably short time to do it in, this probably your best option - it has just about the right level of detail to help you get to grips with stuff you will hopefully have time to read in more detail later...
Penner's style makes the book both straightforward and interesting (not an easy task when dealing with this area of the law!) and puts this text in the realms of the very, very useful.
Title : Principles of Equity and the Law of Trusts (Principles of Law S.) Author : Alastair Hudson Rating : 1 Stars out of 5. Summary : Quantity not quality
This book is extremely poorly written and should only be read after you feel confident enough with your knowledge of the subject to be able to see all its innaccuracies, if at all. Reading this book provides a risk of wrongfully doubting your understanding of the subject. The major problems are that Hudson equates terms that mean different things (e.g. by beginning a paragraph saying a rule relates to beneficiaries but then using the term potential beneficiaries in its place without clearly stating that the rule applies to them as well) and an serious lack of structure that would especially confuse if this was the first book you read on the subject. Resist the temptation to buy the thickest and newest book and buy a quality book instead e.g. Hanbury and Martin's Modern Equity.
Title : Equity and Trusts (Nutshells S.) Author : Angela Sydenham Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A review of the Nutshells book on Equity and Trusts
I would definitely recommend this book to all those who are studying Equity. Unlike many legal text books, this one is written is such a way that it accessible to all, both the beginner and those who wish to clarify points on equity that they have studied. It provides the reader with a common sense approach to equity and while it can sometimes simplify some points of law, it generally provides a sufficiently detailed explanation of Equity and helps the reader to better understand this difficult subject. Another advantage to this book is that it does not saturate the reader with endless lists of cases, instead concentrating on the most important cases and providing explanations of all necessary facts in an accessible manner. In order for this book to be used as an easy reference guide while studying, the index is clear yet sufficiently detailed enabling you to find certain aspects of this area of law quickly and easily. In conclusion, this book is ideal as both a study guide and those who simply have an interest in the subject. While perhaps not detailed enough to be used as a textbook on its own, it provides a great reference point for any law student at an affordable and extremely reasonable price.
Title : Last Will Testament Kit Author : Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A very useful product
My wife and I decided that we needed to make our wills, however morbid as this process can seem, once it is done one can rest assured that things are taken care of. It doesn't take long in comparative terms and if you can steel yourself to do it it brings a lot of peace of mind. This kit is extremely helpful and cuts the cost considerably. A reviewer has said that it is too basic - well, it must have been improved since then (which was in 2002) because we found it contained everything we needed. The instructions are clear to follow and the forms clearly set out. Will storage is also offered at a very competitive rate. All in all we found this extremely helpful in what can be a tricky task.
Title : Planning Your Estate with Wills, Probate and Taxes Author : Denis Clifford Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Number one in clarity and for basic information

Title : Understanding Living Trusts: How You Can Avoid Probate, Save Taxes and Enjoy Peace of Mind Author : Vickie Schumacher Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : A MUST READ
