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 : Trusts (Nutshell S.) Author : Angela Sydenham Rating : 3 Stars out of 5. Summary : Good, but needs updating due to the Third Party Rights Act
The Nutshell books are good revision aids, but it is not helpful when they do not keep up with the current position regarding the law.
The introduction of the Third Party Contract Rights Act has fundamental implications on this area of law. If it is being taught and examined upon, then the publisher needs to update this book.
Title : How to Probate an Estate in Florida: With Forms Author : 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 : Trusts (Nutshell 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 : 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 : Trusts and Equity (PLTS) Author : Richard Edwards Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Straightforward and easy to read
This is one of best textbooks on trusts and equity that I have found. Designed specifically for postgradute and first time law students, it is accessible and uncomplicated. The case law it includes is relevant and very up to date. Perhaps a little too uncritical with regards to cases, and any serious student will need to supplement it with casebooks and further reading, but it is an excellent book for anybody struggling to get to grips with trusts. It gives a good, basic background on any equity topic. If only all law textbooks were as readable as this!
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 : French Property and Inheritance Law: Principles and Practice Author : Henry Dyson Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : comments of john boyd qc
An excellent book for the practitioner and for those who take an informed interest in the subject.
The material is clearly set out and indexed. Though it deals with a technical subject it is expressed in a manner which can be understood by the layman.
UK lawyers and UK owners of property in France would be well advised to consult this book before embarking on a transaction. It is unlikely that a UK owner of property in France, or his UK lawyer, will get such helpful advice from any lawyer in France. I know of no other book which is so informative.
