Didn't Know My Way To The Courthouse

This is a good book if you don't have a lawyer in the family who can answer your probate questions. I had never even been in the courthouse and I didn't know what to expect, so I found this bok a big help. It answers the "dumb" questions that the other books skip. (My 3rd grade teacher always told me there's no such thing as a dumb question). There's also chapters on last illnesses and funerals which similar books don't have. On the other hand the tax materials seem dated, because it's an older book, but then again, if you're not a millionaire you won't be paying death taxes anyway. If you're going to serve as an executor or you're thinking about it and you can only afford to buy one book, this is the one to buy.
