Everything a Baby Boomer Should Know: An Insider's Guide To Estate Planning
Everything a Baby Boomer Should Know An Insider's Guide To Estate Planning Author:Mark S. Cornwall This is called a "guidebook" because it is meant to guide you through the exotic world of estate planning. It is designed to be read from beginning to end as easily as it can be read from the middle to the beginning. The short chapters with topical headings make it easier to jump from one subject to another. — There is no beginning, mid... more »dle and end to estate planning. It goes on for generations and everything leads to something else you should know. However, it is best to start at the beginning to become familiar with the new lexicon (vocabulary). From there, you can best decide what to do with the information.
The other reason for this shotgun format is that not everyone is interested in the same things. For some, the reading can get technical and make you feel overwhelmed. Those people need to jump to another section that is more passionate about things closer to their heart, such as why you want to avoid a conservatorship, or how to pick a guardian.
But for those that really want to understand what a "three-way formula split with a nonmarital pecuniary formula clause" is, there is sufficient information in this guidebook to give you an understanding ? not an education, but an understanding so you will know how to analyze the trust documents and ask questions about how they work.
For others not so keen on reading and understanding every word, you may want to finger through the book to that section explaining how to save your family $920,000 in taxes.« less
