Pass it On,
By Joel Fleischer (Missoula, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pass It on : A Practical Approach to the Fears and Facts of Planning Your Estate (Hardcover)
I have been an investment professional for 27 years. One of the most common concerns I encounter is the concern that investors have of retaining the corpus of their estate for their children. Yet, estate planning is a complicated field populated by attorneys CPA's and others with specialized knowledge. The "average man" feels overwhelmed. Now, I have found a source to which I can refer them. Greenway and Shotwell have done an excellent job of explaining the basics of estate planning and have done it with such humor that the book becomes engaging reading rather than a dry estate planning tome. Kudos to the authors!

This review is from: Pass It on : A Practical Approach to the Fears and Facts of Planning Your Estate (Hardcover)
can't believe a lawyer can write so lucidly and make the estate tax rules so clear. nancy randolf greenway has taken a complex subject and made it understandable....with humor, too. i recommend this book to everyone over the age of forty....a must read before wasting time on an estate-planning professional's billing clock.
