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 : 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 : 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 (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 : Wills and Probate
Author :
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : General information but lacking in detail
This guide devotes 20% of its pages to writing a will and 80% to dealing with someones estate after their death. It covers all of the main areas such as inheritance tax, trusts, intestacy, guardianship, joint ownership etc. This book covers some of the differences between England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
As far as writing a will is concerned, the book provides inadequate information to do it properly by yourself but does give you all of the questions that you need to think about. As such, I would recommend this book to someone to read before seeing the solicitor.

Title : How to Probate an Estate in Florida: With Forms (Legal Survival Guides)
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.
