Know it, or Blow it.
The mistakes in your estate plan are unknown until you die.
And then it’s too late to fix them.
Do you understand how your estate plan is designed to work? Can you explain the
mechanics? If not, you could throw a wrench in the plan, unknowingly. You might
never know the cost of making a change, but your intended beneficiaries will.
Let’s Talk About Estate Planning in a lively way illuminates the mechanics of how
your estate will be administered. What documents control what assets? What must
you look out for in leaving assets to a minor? Why must you consider the possibility
of “out of order” deaths?
By presenting conversations between fictional lawyer Rebecca Dalton and her
clients, or between friends, this book explains the operational mechanics of an
estate plan. Understanding these mechanics will prevent the living from
undermining the fulfillment of their own wishes.
Let’s Talk About Estate Planning also discusses managing your lawyer, the
usefulness of tabular and pictorial representations of your estate plan, and how to
ease estate administration for your heirs and beneficiaries when you are gone.
Included are a glossary and some handy websites.
