A Practical Guide to Planning and Distribution, Valid Will Requirements, Executors, Probate, and Estate Administration

However, a will must generally satisfy applicable legal requirements to be effective.

UNDERSTANDING WILLS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PLANNING AND DISTRIBUTION provides a straightforward introduction to wills and the role they can play in estate planning. It covers legal requirements, estate planning, beneficiaries, executors, drafting and updating wills, probate, challenges to wills, special family circumstances, and comprehensive estate planning.
