5.0 out of 5 stars wow, i really had no idea until i read this book!
I've never even heard of the word probate before so i could be in the minority here but i never knew that the process of handling the affairs of the deceased can be so complicated. my initial reaction towards the legal procedures was a bit bitter and virulent thinking that the courts just want to seem more important than they really are and make revenue at our expenses but, by the end of the book, i'm now actually glad the whole thing is super complex. It's really the only way to prevent bad people from stealing money from the deceased (or their friends and families). Anthony does a real good job providing examples and relatable reasons concerning this throughout the book.The 2 topics that had my biggest attention were:1) you can decline to be the executor (person who carries out the requests made in a will) without looking like a jerk when a will states you as the executor. i never knew that there would be a legitimate reason to decline, let alone, under certain circumstances, declining is actually the nice thing to do. laziness and apathy, apparently, are not the only reasons why people refuse the requests of a deceased.2) you can get in trouble for trying to help out (as the executor). man, whatever happened to the spirit of being a good samaritan? it's funny that i can't get in trouble for offering assistance to someone who needs help but i can get in trouble for trying to help someone who is dead. (you have to read the book, this topic was super fascinating to me)For those of us who are nearing that age where our parents are beginning to consider these things... the wealth of information found in this little, concise, well written book is truly invaluable, for us and our family.

4.0 out of 5 stars An easy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The author provides relatable reasons and examples throughout the book
This book is an accessible guide for laymen to understand the complex legal subject of settling an estate. It presents real world case examples and is concise and to the point, making it a valuable resource for those looking to navigate the probate process. The author provides relatable reasons and examples throughout the book, dispelling the myth that legal procedures exist solely to make revenue and make the courts appear more important. The author covers two particularly intriguing topics - the reasons why someone might decline to be the executor and the potential consequences of trying to assist as the executor. The book is invaluable for those nearing the age where they must consider these matters for their parents or themselves and their families.
5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and easy to understand
Having no legal understanding I found this easy to comprehend. Great if you want to prevent probate or dealing with it
5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative!
Husband says this was very informative and worth the money.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Beginner
Good book for people who have no prior experience or knowledge of Probate however if you have the slightest knowledge of Probate, you will find this book a little too basic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and illuminating book to guide you through the complexities of estate administration
Whether you find yourself dealing with legalities of a recently deceased loved one or in the process of writing your will – or like me, both - this book will provide an indispensable point of reference.In a forthright and candid approach, the book takes you through every step, document and timeframe you should expect in the probate process. I found it illuminating to find out the arduous tasks and (very often) unappreciated job that an executor/administrator has agreed to and have a newfound appreciation (and patience).Also, as I embark on writing my will, learning how courts assess rightful ownership of assets and how they prioritize beneficiary designations has made me more vigilant about keeping my account beneficiaries and documents clear and up-to-date.What I also found especially helpful in the book are the examples provided after each main section. Essentially, they’re short slice-of-life examples that provided a relatable situation to help clarify what I just read.
High-level overview
This guide is meant to give you a high-level overview of the process as a whole.
THIS BOOK RELATES TO THE USA NOT THE UK - BEWARE
It is ALL in the headline. IF you are in the UK - forget it. If in the USA, having flicked through it, it looks like a pretty decent and especially at the price point, is easy to read and a valuable introduction to an enormously complex subject.
