Great Informative Book

Great source of information and in layman’s terms. It explains why everyone should have a Will and just how to protect your assets and loved ones. I highly recommend this book.

Think I'll listen to it again!

Thoughtful layout of the material and use of real world examples makes the topics easy to follow and keeps the listener engaged all the way to the end.

GREAT BASIC BREAK-DOWN

The information was easy to understand, it was very easy to stay engaged with the information because of the stories and examples...

Otherwise about to go into a legal situation
totally ignorant and at the mercy of those with knowledge.

it's an adequate introduction....

it's an adequate introduction, not bad.
A review requires at least 7 unique words because audible and Amazon have STUPID policy makers.

Not as expected

This was a 50,000 foot view then a 1 inch view.
I was hoping this would include actual methodology to conduct a probate but it gave an overview and specific examples. It may be helpful for someone needing to see a big picture view but not for me, who needed nuts & bolts.
