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 : 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 : It keeps gettin' better all the time...

I've recently had the privilage to read this fifth installment about estate planning from Jim and Vickie Schumacher, and I can honestly say it's the best they've turned out yet. Ever since their first edition (originally titled A Will is not the Way), these two have been giving us clear and concise information about the estate planning world in everyday, conversational English. This tradition is continued in their newest edition. What makes the fifth edition a must have, however, is all the new information they've included. Five months ago, President Clinton signed the Taxpayers Relief Act of 1997, seriously changing the "rules" on estate and capital gains taxes. Not only have the Schumacher's already incorporated this new information into their book and translated it from Washington's "legelese" into English I can understand, they've even told me how these changes pratically apply to my estate planning situation. This alone would make the book worth buying, but when you couple it with the state-specific estate planning information they've included (as a direct response from reader's requests), you've got a real steal.

Title : The Law of Trusts (Butterworths Core Texts S.)
Author : J.E. 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 : The Living Trust: Failproof Way to Pass Along Your Estate to Your Heirs Without Lawyers, Courts, or the Probate System
Author : Henry W. Abts
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Not a "How to" book; too many words, too little said.

17 chapters, over 350 pages discussing the importance/advantage of Living Trust over Will. Little on how to draw up a living trust except some blank forms to help organize your assests. Although covers touts not needing a lawyer, bottom line message - buy my book, organize your information and hire a lawyer(me, if possible) to prepare the living trust. Look elsewhere for detail information unless you want stuff not fluff.

Title : Living Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney (Pocket Lawyer S.)
Author : Mark Fairweather
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Essential reading for everybody over 18 in the UK

Imagine you have become mentally incapable of managing your own finances. This could just as easily be the result of a serious accident as old age. It could happen to anyone. It could happen to you today.

Would you want strangers running your affairs? I don't think so. This book is well written in an entertaining style and makes it easy to prepare an Enduring Power of Attorney that enables you to decide who will take control.

Everybody responsible enough to write a will should also write an EPA. It is easy and, other than the cost of the book, free. Don't delay.

Title : The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations
Author : Robert A. Pearce
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Obtuse, baffling, badly written and riddled with typos

A disaster of a text book which makes an already difficult subject even more impenetrable.

Key cases are badly, yet long-windedly explained, the index is hopeless, there's no glossary, and typos confusing tranferee and tranferor abound. This book required very close editing and proof reading and despite being in its third edition, shows no evidence of having had such attention.

Run a million miles from this steaming pile of ordure. If it's you're assigned text, bad luck. refer to it to see which areas you're supposed to be covering and read another text book.

Merely my 2 pence worth #8211; your mileage may vary.

Title : How to Probate an Estate in Florida: With Forms : Take the Law into Your Own Hands (Take the Law Into Your Own Hands)
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 : Write Your Own Will (Paperfronts S.)
Author : Keith Best
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Write your own will

Easy to understand and numerous specimen wills. However, the fact that the edition is dated 1990 calls into question the currency of the information given. There have been numerous similar books written since 1990, obviously with reference to more up to date legislation.
Also there was a dearth of information in how to avoid inheritance tax (IHT); given the escalation in house values in recent years, far more people stand to be caught out by IHT. Any book about writing wills worth its salt must deal in some depth with IHT issues.
