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 : 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 Write Your Will Author : Marlene Garsia Rating : 1 Stars out of 5. Summary : Why do Amazon keep deleting reviews?
This book is, in a word, rubbish. It does not deserve any stars at all. The writer is not legally qualified and it shows. I am all for demystifying the law but not at the price of accuracy.
Title : Planning Your Estate with Wills, Probate and Taxes Author : Denis Clifford Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Number one in clarity and for basic information
Before you go to a lawyer, read this book! It will save you time - giving you information to be able to ask the most pertinent and specific questions - and therefore save you money!
Title : French Property and Inheritance Law: Principles and Practice Author : Henry Dyson Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Excellent reference source
My remarks refer to the second edition, which I recently found in our local library. This is a well-written book (unfortunately marred by some spelling errors and some poor editing). It gives a very eloquent insight into French property law and succession law while sticking to practical matters and avoiding unnecessary theory. The author's wife is French and she is credited with helping the author gain some of his insights. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on the notaires, but this chapter alone made me very wary of dealing in French property. Many foreigners have done so and do not seem to have much trouble, but it is well to be aware of all the snags that can arise. Caveat emptor is the golden rule, but this book will be indispensable for anybody taken on the daunting task of buying a gite or other type of property in France.
Title : The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations Author : Robert A. Pearce Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Perfect book for your Trusts module.
This book is excellent. The best result I got in any module was in Equity and Trusts, and it is largely due to this book. It is written in a very clear and concise way, with plenty of examples from cases to back up all the points made. Also useful are the diagrams to show how the more akward trusts are set up. The index is very thorough; you can find the information you need in seconds. This, I find, is not always the case with law textbooks. Choosing the "right" textbook is often a matter of taste, but this one is something of a bible to the law students I know.
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.
