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 : Where There's a Will...: A Guide for the Executor or Administrator of the Estate of a Decendent
Author : F. William, Jr. Bauers
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : This book is an excellent resource and easy to use.
Although I have not yet been the executor of an estate, someday I will be required to perform the duties of one. I plan to use this book as my guide. When my husband and I set up our estate, Where There's a Will...provided useful information for the direction of our own executor. Legal information for the lay person is frequently written in a dry or boring style, but this author is interesting and readable. It's difficult to think about the death of our loved ones. Painful as it can be we need to be prepared to carry out their final wishes. A resource like this will provide answers to confusing questions during what can be an overwhelming time of life.

Title : The Living Trust: The 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 : Immortality Made Easy: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Wills, Trusts, Probate, Marriage and Foundations
Author : Paul Rampell
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Estate planning for the rest of us. Clear, concise witty.
This is the Harold and Maud of estate planning. A book about planning your own death that will make you laugh and that you can cuddle up to like a good novel.
Paul Rampell's Immortality Made Easy may be the first book on estate planning written by an attorney with a sense of humor. It is cartoon-simple and filled with heart. Every page speaks to the real concerns about planning for loved ones that most of us harbor, but never fully address. It brings a complex area of law to a human level. Halos to Immortality Made Easy.

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