DESCRIPTION:
“Will be appreciated by those with modest estates who want a quick overview.” - Library Journal “One of the simplest and best overviews of the estate-planning process.” - The Wall Street Journal “ A search of more than a dozen books in my reference library uncovered a mention of the stepped-up basis in all, but only Estate Planning Basics…makes it clear that the basis of inherited property is adjusted up or down.” - Florida Sun-Sentinel
Nice outline good for concepts and vocabulary I classify NOLO's legal books in two broad categories: broad and shallow vs. narrow and deep. Purchasers of this book, as its title should indicate, will get a broad and shallow, "basic" introduction to estate planning. I don't hesitate to recommend this book to someone starting out in total ignorance who is thinking about estate planning. However, this book is not designed, nor is it intended, to all. "An Introduction to" according to Gene P. Louie. As the title suggests, the book is on the essentials of estate planning. It covers the following topics: wills, living trusts, avoiding probate, and reducing estate taxes..The contents is very general. As a result, Nolo - the publisher - has other books that only focus on wills and living trusts. They have the details that enable the reader to construct legal documents without hiring expensive lawyers. Gene P. Louie said Good Introduction to.
