About this item

This book provides concise, straightforward, and easy-to-read information about the major components of estate planning – without going into endless detail about arcane options that apply only to the wealthy.  Topics include: • choosing beneficiaries • estate planning by parents with minor children • wills • living trusts • avoiding probate • trusts for people in second marriage, and • planning for incapacity. Best-selling Nolo author Denis Clifford uses plain English to make these estate planning issues easy to understand, and he lets you know which tasks you can handle yourself, and when you’ll need a lawyer’s help.
