Author : Gudrun M. Nickel
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The Best and Simplest to Use on How to Probate an Estate
How to Probate an Estate in Florida is bar far the best, most comprehensive and simplest manual for the layman and lawyer alike. Ms. Nickel has very carefully studied the provisions of The Florida Probate Code and The Florida Rules of Probate Procedure and presented critical, vital information to her readers. In addition, Ms. Nickel has developed easy-to-use and time-tested forms, keyed to the relevant provisions of Florida Probate Law, that are extremely useful to lawyers, heirs, executors of estates and trustees.
How to Probate an Estate in Florida is a much better value than many other books dealing with Florida Probate Law. Further, Ms. Nickel is not only an experienced attorney, but a very caring advocate. Her experience in consumer law, mortgage foreclosure defense and probate law is just great! She has no equals!
In my opinion, when it comes to How to Probate an Estate in Florida, I would say: Buy it; read it; and use it. You'll be glad you did!

Title : Modern Equity
Author : Harold Greville Hanbury
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent if you have to learn about this!
Having been recommended this book by my law tutor, it was never going to be a fascinating read. However, the broad narrative and the easy-ish to read text meant that taking notes was fairly simple. The definitive textbook for the student of the modern law of trusts.

Title : How to Settle an Estate: A Manual for Executors and Trustees
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!)

Title : The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations
Author : Robert A. Pearce
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A pleasure to read - detailed and well researched
I honestly believe that those who gave this book a bad review are either (a) not very bright and/or (b) have never actually read the book itself.
It is a well written and lucid book that was researched with vigour.
The book covers the essentials of Trust law.
1. A history of Equity
2. Certainty (of intention, subject matter and objects)
3. Formalities and Constitution
4. Purpose trusts (e.g. trusts for a charity)
5. Resulting and constructive trusts
6. Trustees powers and duties
7. Liability for breach of trusts
8. Tracing
I have read the whole book, and (I know most law students will find this hard to believe) I really did enjoy it.
It flows well, and I read 100 pages with ease.
It was my recommended textbook and I am glad it was.
There are a few typos (pages 397, 541, 512, 635)but who really cares?
I think this book, now in its third edition has an excellent balance between facts, cases, principles and criticism.
Furthermore it is easy to understand.
Ignore the bad reviews, they are absolutely wrong.

Title : The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations
Author : Robert A. Pearce
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A textbook you would hate to be using
This textbook is very little value for money. It is the sort of book you would at best avoid to read. It really does not break the subject down in any logical manner and adds confusion with its obscure diagramms occasionally attempting to explain concepts to the reader. The only worthwile bit of the text book is the introductory part outlining the history of equitable jurisprudence. But quite frankly, for everyhing else you would be well advised to use another book. Its extremely small print and typo problems are additional factors you might want to bear in mind before buying this book.
