“A Parent’s Guide to Wills & Trusts”

Don Silver has recently authored the second edition of his book entitled A Parent’s Guide to Wills & Trusts (For Grandparents, Too).

Here is an excerpt from the publisher’s description of this book:

A Parent’s Guide to Wills & Trusts is unique. The book uses an easy-to-understand question-and-answer format with real-life scenarios to show how advance planning can avoid problems and save money. It is not a do-it-yourself book. * * *

“Terrific…This book would make a great gift for clients.” – The CPA Journal

“Comprehensive…recommend it to any client who needs a living trust…The book includes a comprehensive list and explanation of special situations… The book contains excellent material on issues that are not in the law books or tax codes.” – Colorado State Bar – The Colorado Lawyer Magazine

“This is a book I highly recommend. I recommend it to attorneys to consider as something to give to clients and potential clients. I recommend it to people who are planning to meet with their estate planning attorneys and to people who are thinking about finding an attorney to help them with their estate plans. I recommend it to people who don’t think they need a will or any estate planning advice because after reading this book, they will become people who are thinking about finding an attorney to help them with their estate plans.” – Prof. James Edward Maule, Villanova University School of Law

“I highly recommend A Parent’s Guide to Wills & Trusts (2nd ed.). As an estate planning attorney practicing in California, I’m always on the lookout for good reference resources for my clients who want to do some homework on their own. This book covers a wide range of issues. But the book’s breadth does not come at the expense of substance: the author provides accurate information and solid advice in a highly readable way. Although not a substitute for working with a professional to prepare your estate plan, this book can help you get the most out of your relationship with your attorney and other advisors.” – Jeff Holman, Kaye Holman Law Group
