This review is from: Estate Planning Made Easy, Third Edition (Paperback)

This book takes a very complex subject and makes it almost understandable. You still need a specialist to guide you through the application, but at least now I have a working knowledge of what's available, as well as a list of questions that came to mind as I read. And it will be a little easier to figure out if he really knows what he's talking about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Estate Planning Explained, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Estate Planning Made Easy (Paperback)

Knowing little about estate planning, I was forced (quickly) to bring myself up to speed on the subject. I found this book to cover, and explain, the processes behind estate planning. The book explains the topic well and gives the reader several good references.
