Beyond the Grave: The
Right Way and the Wrong Way of Leaving Money to Your Children (And Others)
by Gerald M. Condon, Jeffrey L. CondonThis is one
of the few guides that is based on years of case studies from estate
planning lawyers. It is not a "how to" guide. Instead, the
process of estate planning is made more tangible by using real examples
from real family situations. It touches on the emotional aspects of what
can go wrong when one has misplaced assumptions. The number of examples
alone is enough to make one think about the need to be clear in one's
plans. The book covers such possibilities as "protecting" the
inheritance from one's child's spouse, preventing squabbles over inherited
property, selecting trustees or guardians, avoiding disputes between
second spouses and children of one's first marriage, leaving money for
pets, etc. With good sense, humor, and authority, the authors provide a
thorough look at inheritance planning with an eye toward maintaining good,
stable family relations well after the estate has been settled.

Handbook: A Step-By-Step Guide to Settling an Estate for Personal
Representatives, Administrators, and Beneficiaries

An executor is a person appointed in a will to carry out
the instructions and wishes of the deceased. Often the tasks involved are
cumbersome, complicated, and time-consuming. This Handbook outlines the
duties and responsibilities of the executor and provides a walking tour of
the procedures that settle an estate. There is no skimping on the basics
here. The authors understand what a first-time executor needs to know and
present that information in plain English. Coverage includes a thorough
explanation of what an executor does, instruction on dealing with the
deceased's assets and liabilities, and advice on administering probate. In
addition to the competent, methodical text, they offer tables of state
income tax rates, intestacy laws, state-by-state probate requirements, and
executor's fees.

Be Not Afraid:
Overcoming The Fear Of Death
by Johann Christoph Arnold, Madeleine L'Engle
This book addresses fears that every person faces: fear
of illness, aging, death, and loss, fear of vulnerability, and fear of
suffering. A councilor who has worked with the dying for three decades,
the author knows that the biggest challenges in life are the ones that
won't fit the script, and which each of us therefore has to deal with in
our own unique way. Although the title of this book suggests that it is
about overcoming the fear of death, it is overwhelmingly about life and
living with joy and faith, no matter what meets us. Through a treasure
trove of personal stories that make the book near impossible to put down,
"Be Not Afraid" meets the age-old human fear of death head on,
with a power and intensity that leaves one changed. If you want a true
guide for the rest of your life, read this book.
