5 Stars The most comprehensive legal advice in a single, easy to read book!
I am a wills and probate attorney in Texas. Certainly, I am the first to admit that the law of estate planning can be difficult to navigate. John Ventura, with this Estate Planning book, makes the navigation simple. He guides you, step by step, through wills, trusts, and the like, without ever missing a beat. I even purchased a copy for my own mother! If you want an easy read, with excellent advice, you’re in great hands with John Ventura’s “Kiplinger’s Estate Planning.”
