Author: The Living Trust The Failproof Way to Pass Along Your Estate to Your Heirs
If you are concerned about estate planning you may be surprised that, even with a will, the probate system can eat up as much as 10 percent of an inheritance and delay the process two years. In The Living Trust, noted living trust authority Henry Abts presents a simple, inexpensive legal alternative that eliminates the costs and delays of probate and ensures that your loved ones will receive their inheritance promptly and exactly as you intended. This new edition has been completely updated to reflect the federal tax codes and up-to-the-minute developments in the legal system.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars The best
Henry Abts has a true passion for Estate Planning, this is his legacy. After seeing $93,897.00 spent in probate I wanted to find out “WHY” and if it can be avoided for my personal Estate. Yes it can and Henry puts it in plain everyday language.
5 Stars Still the best book I have seen on the subject
If you want to know the history of living trusts in modern America and how the legal community looks at things this is a must read. Anyone who does not have a living trust either has no assets or no sense.
4 Stars The Living Trust
Although this book is somewhat out of date, it is an excellent tool for learning about the living trust which is a very important tool in estate planning. I highly recommend it.
2 Stars Disorganized, repetitive and much too long.
This book contains quite a bit of good information but only after you wade through about 90 pages of sales pitch for living trusts. When you finally get to the part of the book containing actual information about trusts it is disorganized and repetitive to the extreme. Much of the book appears to be excerpts from trust seminars given by the author which are strung end to end to bulk out the book. A good rewrite and editing would make this a more readable, concise and useful book.
5 Stars everything you ever wanted to know about living trusts
I read this book and it was just what I needed to lean all about the purpose and need for living trusts. If you are thinking about your estate planning this book is definitey a good read and very informative. I called the number mentioned in the book for a referral but no one ever got back to me. I found that very strange as the entire book is based on useing a trust professional certified by the author. Despite this, the book is very interesting and you will probably get all the information you need in regard to the subject matter. I am glad I purcheased this book and I can now say I know a lot about the need for living trusts and how to get one that meets my estate planning needs.
