Estate planning sounds difficult -- but most people just need a few basic documents. With the publication of the "Nolo's Guide to Estate Planning", estate planning expert Liza Hanks shows the non-specialist general readers just how to protect their loved ones from legal hassles and financial uncertainty with respect to an inheritance left to them.
Applies in all U.S. states except Louisiana, this paperback edition of estate attorney Liza Hanks "Nolo's Guide to Estate Planning" is fully updated, comprehensive, and thoroughly 'user friendly' in organization and presentation. If your aim is to establish and pass on 'Generational Wealth' to your children and grandchildren, then "Nolo's Guide to Estate Planning" is the ideal instructional guide and 'how to' manual. While also readily available in a digital book format "Nolo's Guide to Estate Planning" is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, senior center, and college/university library Money/Finance Management collections and Estate Planning reading lists.

I recently lost my husband and want to make sure everything is in order so my kids are spared a lot of the work, and this book will be extremely helpful in that process.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book for anyone!
This is very comprehensive look at options and an effective estate planning management. It is so easy to understand, they did a great job of making this understandable. In places were you had multiple options they explained the different options and pros and cons of each one.This is very well written and organized. If you are working on your estate planning I highly recommend this book even just to have on had to help answer questions. If you are not sure how to approach your estate then I really highly recommend this! I feel like I have a much better handle on how to best approach what I have. I feel like I am able to make better choices and I understand how my choices effect what happens.I read this knowing nothing about estate planning or anything about trusts and wills or even what the difference is. I finished this book feeling like I have a good understanding and can hold a legitimate conversation about estate planning. I highly recommend this book. It is really well written and easy to follow and understand.⭐️ 1 star - I don't recommend it at all.⭐️⭐️ 2 stars - I don't recommend it, poorly written or bad information.⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars - Good Book. Not for me. Not the most well written.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars - Very good book quite, I would recommend and well written.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars - Book that I totally recommend and could not put down. Well written and a book I would read again

You never know when everything can go wrong and you're no longer there for your family. It's a terrible thought, but eventually it will happen.You love your family, right? Then get this book. Get the info you need to set up some protections for your family. Don't be afraid... you might live another 50 years... but at least there will be something there to protect them - a final act of love.This is an excellent book, especially if you can't afford a lawyer. And perhaps, if you CAN afford a lawyer, even more reason to get this book.Well written and complete.I hope you liked my review. I always try really hard to write reviews are candid, honest, and helpful for your shopping decisions. No AI here... all the poor writing is mine and mine alone! :-)
5.0 out of 5 stars Best estate planning book on the market
What I love about NOLO publishing is that the company was born out of the frustration of two legal aids who are trying to help Nolo was born of the frustration of two legal aid lawyers who were trying to help low-income families in the San Francisco Bay area in the late 1960s. They found there was no way to help all the working people who didn’t qualify for free legal aid yet couldn’t afford lawyers. So the company was born in 1970 and they’ve been creating legal how to books ever since.I picked up this book cuz we are creating a trust as we are both aging and we live in CA. We are working with someone to create the trust, yet we needed more information about all the questions they were asking us.Getting this book truly opened my eyes to all I don’t know anBout our assets, how to break them down, what assets to put where. Chapter 2 Taking Inventory was one of the best chapters to help us understand the importance of the law and our assets. I’d get the book just based on that.There’s so much in this book that’s incredibly valuable, even if you decide to hire a lawyer, you will know who’s much more to guide you.Others have out pics of the table of contents so you know what’s in it.It’s 369 pages of value. Plus they share with you how you can access their forms on their site.I’d highly recommend this book. NOLO as a company is incredibly well respected and you won’t go wrong picking up a company. It will save you money, time and fried in estate planning - promise!
5.0 out of 5 stars From Universal Topics to Specific Scenarios, Estate Planning Book Is a Must!
You don't comprehend how vital estate planning is until something tragic happens.If you don't know where to start or are just curious about the process, this estate planning guide from Nolo is an excellent jumping-off point.The guide really walks you through the various phases of the planning process. Some areas will be more relevant to some people than others, but topics like "making an inventory" and "creating a will" are almost universal.Nolo has made it easy for you to decide if you need to invest time reading through a section to see if it applies to you by having a "Read this chapter if" box at the beginning of each section. That way, if the subject matter doesn't apply to you now, you can move along to the contents of the book that you need assistance with.What allows me to highly recommended this guide book are the example worksheets and the ability to download companion worksheets that you can fill out on your own. That way, you can take what you've learned in the book and put it into action on your own.Many people (including myself) don't take the time to think about estate planning until we are faced with a situation that demands our intention. This book definitely allows you to get out in front of the process and explains in detail the methods that will grant you peace of mind when difficult times arise.
