Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Reflecting the author's background as a tax preparation specialist and author of the 25-title " Allyear Tax Guide " series, these two books are well organized, well written, practical, process-oriented, illustrated with diagrams and charts, and focused primarily on taxes. This emphasis is less successful in Writing Your Will , which advises on will construction in a painstaking, clause-by-clause fashion. Some of Crouch's general statements, although later qualified, may be misleading, and his chapter on trusts fails to discuss living trusts. Alexander Bove's The Complete Book of Wills and Estates ( LJ 6/1/89) and Eugene J. Daley's Thy Will Be Done ( LJ 7/90) are better choices in this area. The narrow focus and task orientation of Your Executor Duties , however, may be helpful to a novice faced with executing a will. Crouch provides a nine-month calendar and clearly explains each step that must be taken, including retrieving the will, obtaining letters testamentary, seeing that the estate is inventoried and appraised, and filing necessary tax forms. This book is recommended as a supplement to Charles Plotnick's The Executors Manual , (Doubleday, 1986). Crouch is also the author of Winning Your Audit , reviewed on p. 136.--Ed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Everyone who wants to understand will writing should read,
By Jacque Olvera-Deki (Henderson, NV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing Your Will (All Year Tax Guide) (Paperback)
This small, easy-to-read book is an excellent guidebook for those who want to understand the will writing process or want to write their own will. My husband and I had wills which had been drawn up by an attorney (a supposed expert!) but after reading this book discovered many errors or problems with them and re-did them based on Mr. Crouch's book. Readers will save themselves and their heirs time and money and many possible problems. Don't leave your heirs hanging - read and understand the process!
