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 : Last Will and Testament Kit Author : Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Simple to Use
The pack arrives with a CD and a booklet on what is required. I found the booklet useful in determining what I needed to do and on the CD are all the forms that are required to make up your will. I should imagine the size of your estate will determine how comlex your will could be. For me this will do the job without the professional fees that could be incurred.
Title : The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations Author : Robert A. Pearce Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Fantastic book
This book is fantastic. It is hard to find a book to recommend to students that has the depth of analysis necessary for a third year topic, but outlines the various rules and principles for a broad and accurate understanding of the application of trusts. Bear in mind that this is a text book, not a cases and materials book. It is clear, well expressed, detailed, and provides sufficient academic analysis to benefit the third year student. Diagrams are used to for those who learn visually, but are not intrinsic to the text, so can be ignored if the reader wishes. My students tend to favour this book above others. Negatives: Some chapters are a little over-long and the index is appalling.
Title : The Self-help Guide to Managing Death and Probate: Manage the Legal and Financial Side of Death Yourself Author : Gordon Bowley Rating : 3 Stars out of 5. Summary : Death Probate - Practical Comment
This book covers making executing/administering a will in England Wales (Note: This legal jurisdiction is important and unclear from the author's and amazon's description). As stated by others the pro-forma letters are useful. It is written in a style appropriate to its most common readers i.e. the recently bereaved, its easy to read and very inoffensive. Its good on probate wills, but weak on tax affairs (presumably to aid the books longevity).
I bought this book and found it useful when needing this knowledge.
Title : Succession (Green's Law Basics S.) Author : Alasdair Gordon Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Wills
This book will be benificary for any one persons needs who do not know all the meaningfull and technical terms. This book will give you all the important information about your wills and probates.
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 : This is an awesome book.
This is an awesome book. The author makes fun of wills and death. It is like a book in the "Dummies" series, since it is written in easy english. I recommend it to anyone who is beginning their last will and testament. Rampell's humor is self-deprecating ---- lots of lawyer jokes.
Title : How to Probate an Estate in Florida: With Forms Author : 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.
