Book Reviews of 60-Minute Estate Planner: Fast and Easy Plans for Saving Taxes, Avoiding Probate, and Maximizing Inheritance (Sixty Minute Estate Planner)
Book Review: Best book on estate planning because of flow charts
Summary: 5 Stars
Back in 1999, I decided to do some estate planning. I decided to buy about 5 books to first learn the basics of estate planning......then see an estate planning attorney to set up my estate plan.
Of the five books that I read on estate planning, Kraemer's book was by far the best book. The main reason I liked Kraemer's book was his use of example flow charts, which show what happens to the money as each spouse dies. These flow charts also allow you to easily calculate the estate tax due at each step of the process.
The other books were very dry and boring.......and without the flow chart approach...it was not clear to me how bypass trusts work.
I highly recommend Kraemer's book as the best book on estate planning.......primarily due to the flow charts.
Kraemer also explains that the use of disclaimers can be a good thing.......and a good way to deal with the changing estate tax laws.
Kraemer's book allowed me to understand the basics of estate planning and bypass trusts. I was able to save time and money then working with an estate planning attorney to set up our bypass trusts.
