Review:
I was not fond of this book. It was timely in that we started working on our will not long after I started the book, but it seemed mostly common sense to me. Of course, one man's common sense is another man's wisdom, but I find it hard to believe that people need to be told most of this stuff. I was unaware that a philanthropic trust could be created for as little as $10,000 and that surprised me. The idea of linking grandchildren and grandparents using such a trust was a cool idea and I will remember it. Otherwise, I got precious little from the book.
