 | An Education..! Jan 30, 2010 |
Book is filled to the brim with useful information. Everyone at some point will have to deal with estate issues with a spouse, parent, partner, sibling, etc....
The world of fiduciary and financial responsibility is presented in great detail. If your question is not answered here, you will be directed to the proper source.
This book will open your eyes to the minutiae of estate management. | | |  | This book covers it all. Dec 10, 2009 |
| We're working on my dad's estate, and so far, the book has covered any questions we have. The book offers a lot of different possibilities, but suggests that we still should have a lawyer and possibly a CPA. The book contains a lot of definitions, so that when we are ready to talk with the attorney, hopefully it will all make sense and save some attorney time. | | | | Great help for difficult times!

This book provides help for anyone trying to navigate through all the issues
one must face at the end of someone's life, when you realize the government is not through with you just because you are gone,
and all the t's must be crossed and i's dotted! It can be daunting, but this book
lays it out in an orderly fashion! Definitely worthwhile for your library! | | | | Excellent guide to estate and trust administration Sep 27, 2009 |
| Estate and Trust Administration for Dummies is a comprehensive and comprehensible book written by two experts who have considerable expertise in the legal, financial, and personal aspects of estate and trust administration. The book is organized in a logical manner. The first part of the book provides an introduction to and overview of estates and trusts. The subsequent parts deal in turn with estates, trusts, and taxes. For some readers, the first part may be all they need to read in detail, and the rest will serve as an important reference book for specific questions and issues that will arise as the estate/trust process proceeds. There are numerous cross-citations throughout the book that identify other relevant sections to read. Even if one is using professional help with the administration of an estate and/or trust (which is likely), professionals do not always have the time or ability to explain things with the detail yet clarity of this book (or will charge a princely sum to do so). Interesting and humorous anecdotes from the authors' experience are interspersed with the technical information, which adds to the readability of the book. Mistakes in administration can be very costly, and this modestly-priced book provides a wealth of information that anyone dealing with an estate and/or trust should have. | | | | Novice Executor May 31, 2009 |
A great resource that walks you through various aspects of estate
and trust administration. It's not a D-I-Y manual (although it
does give you enough information so you could do-it-yourself if
your situation were simple enough), but rather explains what's
happening as you go through the process, and, more importantly,
the pitfalls to avoid.
