There are many books written about estate planning but very little discussing about the impact those decisions have on connected people, individuals, and family members. The majority of books are written from a legal perspective, which assists the professional reader, such as a lawyer or barrister and not the softer side of the management of the estate. My advice for information purposes is not to draft your own will or trust but to find a competent legal firm to advise you. The purpose of this book is to equip a person with tools and techniques for situations that can happen in the real world.
