Smith Regents Professor of Law, Texas Tech University School of Law "There is no doubt that when one is caught up in the never-ending wave of a wide range of emotions upon the news and reality of a loved one's death, dealing with the practical parts of a loved one's passing is made more complicated and overwhelming. A sense of loss brings a family and gathering of friends into a strange new land, where there is no ready guide for understanding our next step on the journey of life. That's why it is incredibly helpful to have one part of the 'next step' of life's pilgrimage figured out before the loss of a loved one's life. Estate Planning (in Plain English)® does just that: it provides an incredibly helpful, easy-to-read road map for what to do, today, before a loved one's death.
