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 and Equity (Foundation Studies in Law S.) 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 : Where There's a Will...: A Guide for the Executor or Administrator of the Estate of a Decendent Author : F. William, Jr. Bauers Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : An excellent resource if you are named executor of a will.
This book is an excellent guide to have if you are named executor of an estate. It takes a common-sense approach to the tasks of being an executor--getting court approval, finding all the necessary documents, dividing up the estate according to the will, and tying up all the loose ends. Bauers knows his topic: he's been executor for seven different wills.
The book starts with a chapter about a most unusual estate Bauers was involved in settling, featuring international intrigue and possible foul play. Then comes a chapter describing the basic responsibilities of an executor. The meat of the book begins with Chapter 3, which contains a list of 26 "duties"--just about every task an executor might have to do. These are spelled out in detail in the remaining 17 chapters. There's an absolute minimum of legalese. The book includes copies of some of the many forms you may encounter and sample letters and worksheets you can use as an executor.
Title : A Step-by-step Guide to Wills and Probate Author : A.K. Biggs Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : all the basics you need to knwo..
this is a good all round guide to drafting wills and dealing with the difficult task of what to do after a death in terms of winding up an estate. It doesn't go into very complex will drafting but in that instance as the book suggests you would really need to get a solicitor involved. However, it does allow you to draft most types of wills and certainly explains the proceedure following death in a clear and concise manner.
Title : Land Law (Butterworths Core Texts S.) Author : K.J. Gray Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Butterworths core test on land law (2nd series)
Really good book and I found it easy to understand and it made land law as entertaining as it could be. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone doing a land law module!!!
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 : 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 : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : This book is terrific for the layperson. Highly recommended.
After reading Abts book on the Living Trust, I followed the author's recommendations, collected ALL pertinent documents and now they are in one place. If you want peace of mind regarding how to protect your assets, this book is the one to guide you through the process. It is a priceless reference source on an on-going basis. The book is straight-forward, well written, easy to understand and follow; I highly recommend it.
