FROM THE PUBLISHER
How to Avoid Probate by Creating a Living Trust exposes the truth about America's outdated and costly probate system, often called "the attorney's private retirement fund." Learn how simple it is to create your own probate-avoiding, tax-saving living trust-without the expense and double-talk of a lawyer. Find out:
Why a living trust is better than a will
How to quickly and easily transfer assets into your trust
How married couples can double their estate tax exemption
The best way to name a guardian for your underage children
How to protect yourself and your assets in the case of physical or mental incapacity
How to assign financial and health care powers of attorney
How to keep from getting cheated should you choose to have a lawyer draw your living trust
Every year, hardworking Americans unwittingly leave thousands of dollars not to their children, but to overcharging attorneys and inflexible probate courts. How to Avoid Probate by Creating a Living Trust puts an end to the ignorance that profits the legal profession, by teaching you how to leave your hard-earned assets to your rightful heirs.
