"An excellent book for lay people." BusinessWeek "The most streamlined, yet thorough information available on how to write a valid will quickly and safely without a lawyer." Long Beach Press-Telegram "This guide for general readers offers plain language, bullets, tips, cautions, and directions for creating a will; it also covers estate planning. The chapters go through the process of writing a basic will, with a final chapter on writing a more complex will. Coverage includes beneficiaries, property ownership, children, executor, estate planning, preparing the draft of the will, signing the final will, storing and copying the will, and changing or revoking the will. The book contains worksheets, fill-in-blank wills, and other forms. A companion web site offers downloadable forms. This eighth edition matches recent changes in federal estate tax law.
