Excellent guide to the exact documents needed

This book is a lot like a recipe book: you determine the value of your assets and that will tell you exactly the documents you need to protect your estate. This is what makes this book stand out--you know exactly what you need and can save a lot of time and money by not having to pay a lawyer to determine this. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what they need before they start getting billed by the lawyers.

Handles inheritance issues better than any other single book

The 60 Minute Estate Planner by Sandy F.Kraemer certainly earns a five star rating. No other book does as much to motivate and show you how to choose the best way to preserve your estate for the benefit of your heirs. The living trust discussion, diagrams, and exposition of the advantages and disadvantages, are more concise and easier to understand than in "The Living Trust" by Henry W. Abts III. Kraemer provides menus that live up to his promise of providing the clearest and most painless way to make your fundamental decisions about the disposition of your estate. His advise on choosing lawyers and accountants is cogent. His diagrams make illustrative use of your assets flowing through pipes when you die. The analogy of poor estate planning to poor plumbing strikes home when you clearly see how potential leaks can rob your heirs. Laying aside the highly practical nuts and bolts of estate planning, section III of the book on the human side of inheritance planning, makes you realize that inheritance involves a lot more than just estates and money. This section alone more than justifies the cost of the book and the time spent reading it.
