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 : A Step-by-step Guide to Wills and Probate
Author : Keith 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.
