Customer Reviews: The probate process seems to be corrupt everywhere. July 23, 2007 Dacey's book should be on your bookshelf, if for no other reason than to show how corrupt the probate system is. The book is excellent and the forms can be copied. Amazon has newer books on living trusts and they have CDs for the forms. To avoid the probate system many wealthy people put their assets into trusts of one kind or another. What's good enough for people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett should be good enough for me. When we moved to Texas in 1981, I asked several people about setting up a living trust. I was assured that unlike some other states, the probate system in Texas was simple and straight forward, and that a living trust was unecessary. Recently the media has had articles on the corrupt probate system in Texas. However as the articles suggest, it is a fair system, anyone who has to deal with the probate system, rich or poor, is apt to to find all/most of the estate going to the lawyers. I hope to set up trusts using this book's sample trusts. March 29, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This landmark book from the 1960's is apparently no longer in print. This worries me just a bit since it seems it should be still useful and thus profitable to print. One answer might be that Mr. Dacey's book has caused some of the exorbitant charges and abuses of probate to disappear (out of embarrassment?).One probate issue which has not disappeared, is the lengthy time(months or years)during which probate proceedings control the assets covered by a will -- assets which the book says it clearly enables you yourself to place in a simple trust so your beneficiaries (or heirs) will have instant and clear title to them at your death.It describes large reductions in transaction costs including tax savings, but it does not, in my opinion, show how to pass assets to your heirs tax-free. How to Avoid Probate! June 21, 2001 19 out of 20 found this review helpful Norman Dacey was disbared when he discovered what a ... the whole probate system is. His revenge is the contents of this book. It is worth its wieght in gold! Over the past 30 years the Bar Associations have black-balled him and his books. He is an honest and genuine man and this book is his legacy. The bulk of its contents are pre-fabricated meticulously prepared forms that everyone should have BEFORE THEY DIE if they want to be absolutely certain their estates will go to their loved ones tax-free and without attorneys taking most of it. A Must Have! March 25, 2000 6 out of 7 found this review helpful Dacey's book is a classic and a must have for those who want to learn about estate planning. As a third year law student interested in estate planning and probate, I would recommend this book for those who want more knowledge about the area and who want to have meaningful questions to ask his or her lawyer.
