Summary: "Attorney biased"

If you are less afraid of legal documents than most people and like to do some things on your own, this book is not as useful as are other books, e.g. Dennis Clifford, "Estate Planning Basics". If you are somewhat afraid of legal documents, this book will probably make you more afraid. Although they talk about people being able to create some of their own documents (with software programs, etc,) they really think that such people are in a grave danger zone and ought to go to an attorney. In other words, I think that they are attorney biased. I think if one were to ask them about going to the toilet,they would probably say that you better ask an attorney.

Summary: "What you must know now about estate and tax planning"

I would encourage every taxpayer in America to read this book. It examines what the new tax law means, not just what it says. Stewart Welch III and Harold Apolinsky have addressed the questions all of us are asking, and a few we may not have thought of yet. Who would have ever thought a book on tax law would be so enjoyable to read and easy to understand? I am grateful for these two experts' wonderful resource and guide. Read it!
