Summary

The most comprehensive -- yet easy to read -- guide to estate planning on the market!

Plan Your Estate covers everything from the basics of wills and living trusts to sophisticated tax-saving strategies. The authors give you straightforward, plain-English explanations of every significant estate-planning option available, so you can make the best decisions for you and those you love.

The book covers:

  • wills
  • probate and how to avoid it
  • living trusts
  • property-control trusts
  • naming guardians for children
  • leaving property to children
  • estate taxes and how to reduce them
  • living wills (health care directives)
  • financial powers of attorney
  • final arrangements
  • strategies for business owners
  • and much more.

The 9th edition is completely updated with the latest federal and state laws, and now covers ethical wills -- a new way to pass on values, beliefs and important personal experiences. Good for all states except Louisiana.
