Editorial Reviews: Product Description A Clear and Comprehensible Guide to the Specialized Topic of Probate For those who are suffering the loss of a loved one, dealing with the complex and often costly probate process can be just as traumatic. This concise guide explains the concepts of probate in simple language, fully outlining the steps you need to take and what you can expect. Martin Shenkman, an authority on the subject, provides practical advice, examples, checklists, tips, and definitions to help ease what might otherwise be a difficult and unpleasant task for the newly widowed or the heir trying to cope with the myriad issues surrounding a loved one's death. You will learn how to begin the probate process, how to hire professionals, who the various parties involved are, and what your responsibilities will be. This book will also aid in minimizing the costs and delays of probate and give you a clear picture of the legal process. * Explains all aspects of probate in easy-to-understand language * Includes state-by-state coverage of probate procedures * Provides sample letters and forms to help you accomplish your goals

Customer Reviews: Good not great May 11, 2000 22 out of 23 found this review helpful I suspect a deliberate attempt on the part of the author to make probate accounting and legal issues seem as complicated (and dangerous to executors) as possible. Nearly every page advises the executor to get help from an attorney. And where the services of an attorney are not required, the services of a professional accountant apparently are. This book was seemingly written so that ignorant, inexperienced first-time executors won't seem like idiots to all of those highly-skilled professionals which are, if you believe the author, required in every case. Far too much space is used for sample charts, forms, and letters. These items presume, for example, that the reader is so ignorant, he cannot write a letter to the decedent's credit card company requesting cancellation of the card. He must be shown just what such a letter should look like. Yet, there is much of value in this book. I've read several on the same subject recently and I've found Shenkman's frequent notes (i.e. tips)and suggestions to be perhaps of more interest than the vocabulary lessons he also offers. The book is logically organized and is written in such a way that unnecessary chapters can be ignored. Maybe this shouldn't be the only book in your library on the subject but, Shenkman's obsession with attorneys aside, it is well-worth the price and easy to read.
