Thorough yet concise, this practical guide explains how assets are distributed after death. Divided into four convenient parts, it explains why a will is essential, outlines the specific features of a last will and testament, describes how an estate is administered and taxed, and offers helpful pointers on practical estate planning. Each stage of the discussion is enhanced by illustrative examples and specific provisions. The book includes a sample will and a valuable glossary of terms for quick reference.
