This quick read makes understanding the rules of estate planning easy!

Estate Planning Basics provides concise, straightforward and easy-to-read explanations of the major components of estate planning, so that you don't have to spend hours wading through endless options (most of which apply to the wealthy).

Learn about:

  • choosing beneficiaries

  • estate planning by parents with minor children

  • wills

  • living trusts

  • other probate-avoidance methods, including using a retirement plan like an IRA or 401(k) as an estate planning device

  • estate taxes and tax-reduction methods

  • trusts for people in second marriages, or for those leaving property to a disabled person

  • planning for the handling of medical and financial decisions if one becomes incompetent


    Attorney Denis Clifford gives you the reliable, plain-English answers you need, whether you're doling out the family heirlooms or steering clear of estate taxes. The 4th edition is updated with the the latest estate planning laws and information of your state.

  • Excerpt

    "One of the simplest and best overviews of the estate-planning process. It will help you understand most of the documents you need, and some basic planning (including disability planning, which too many authors overlook)."
    (The Wall Street Journal)


    "Will be appreciated by those with modest estates who want a quick overview." (Library Journal)


    "A search of more than a dozen books in my reference library uncovered a mention of the stepped up basis in all, but only Estate Planning Basics... makes it clear that the basis of inherited property is adjusted up or down."
    (Florida Sun-Sentinel)
