The Complete Probate Kit,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Probate Kit (Paperback)
The Complete Probate Kit lives up to its name, and as the name indicates ("Kit"), presents the information in a format easy for readers to follow. Information is presented in both text and table format, making it very easy to read and understand. The authors have done an excellent job including information important not only during, but also before, the probate process a period often ignored. Another area that is given good coverage in this book is Intestate Succession, an area that is not easy to find information on outside of very technical, professional publications. A great reference for any Personal Representative.

The Complete Probate Kit,
By Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca CPA,... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Complete Probate Kit (Paperback)
The book is a worthy investment because it provides astep-by-step explanation of the probate process and the requisite forms. Employees in the typical public probate office are not necessarily required to instruct the public on the intricacies of filling out these forms. Therefore, a probate kit is an invaluable tool which depicts sample executed forms in accordance with accepted format and content standards.

Probate kit,

This review is from: The Complete Probate Kit (Paperback)
This book had good lists and other information. I did use it for reference but ultimately needed an attorney to navigate through the probate system of another state. For simple estates this might be a worthwhile reference book, but if there is anything complicated and if you are not versed in interpreting lawyerly language it could be difficult.
