Title : How to Probate an Estate in Florida: With Forms (Legal Survival Guides)
Author : Gudrun M. Nickel
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A good, simple introduction to Florida probate options
This is a good simple overview of Florida probate law, with useful checklists to make sure you do not overlook the obvious. You can find much of the information in the Florida statutes, but this is much more readable and it also coordinates and organizes its information better. It is more of an outline than a treatise, but if you need a treatise you need a lawyer, not this book. It serves the purpose for which it was designed well.

Title : Riddall: the Law of Trusts (Law in Context Series)
Author : John G. MA Riddall
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Good introduction guide to Trust Law
Riddall's Trust Law is one of the simplest guide to the the subject. The words are clear, the format is structured and organized. I would recommend students of Trust Law to buy this book. However, his book is quite out-dated since the latest edition is published in 1996. Also, it lacks sufficient information of family home issues and proprietary estoppel.

Title : Tolley's Pension Fund Trustee Handbook
Author : Roger Self
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The standard book for the PMI certificate - needs an update
Tolley's Pension Fund Trustee Handbook is just one of the many books written and edited by Roger Self on the subject of pensions. It is specially geared towards the lay trustee wanting to acquire more expertise in this ever more complicated area . For this purpose, it remains the absolute standard and none of its completitors get anywhere near in terms of clarity. However, the book badly needs an up-date and this might be used as an occasion to broaden the scope of the book to make more useful in general.

Author : Charles K. Plotnick
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : I'm buying it for my clients!
The best basic "how-to" guide I've seen for executors and administrators. Not "do-it-yourself" tear-out forms, just good, practical, up-to-date (in '98) advice. I'm sending complimentary copies to my executor and trustee clients (via Amazon.com, natch!)
