Thought Provoking and Helpful
Great book. Estate planning is something we never seem to make time for, and when we do, oftentimes we just do it without real thought. This book really does and should make you think - it covers various scenarios of things that could happen and the dreadful repercussions that do happen if you have not planned properly. Maybe all the information can be found elsewhere - but it is fantastic to have it all in one place. The book is not overwhelming - it is just right for people who are wanting to do the right things to safeguard their families and estates, but are not sure what all the steps should be. I have a will and I thought I had covered all our bases along with my husband, but boy was I ever wrong. I have quite a few things to do to really safeguard our children, and one of those things we accomplished today - thanks to this book. Life is busy, life is complicated; we put off things we really should do, we also think we know all that needs to be done - but this book shows how wrong we are. The personal things that this book suggests to help your children should you no longer be here, is worth the purchase price alone. Do yourself and your children a favor, buy the book and put the things in place that will help you sleep better at night, knowing your children are safeguarded and that you have done all you could possibly do.

No Substance
I didn't find this book helpful at all. This book touchs upon a very few issues of estate planning for kids, and not quite comprehensive. It just barely skims the surface, and usually concluding with nuiances that make sure you talk to your attorney. If I intended to talk to all those folks, I wouldn't waste my time reading this book in the first place. Most of what this book covers could be learned by snooping around the web - and in many cases you can learn more that way.
