Book Reviews of Executor's Guide: Settling a Loved One's Estate or Trust

Book Review: Good Reference, Some Information Lacking
Summary: 3 Stars

I read this after also reading the similar Dummies book, and the good thing was that I learned some aspects of managing a Trust from each source. However, this book was lacking in a lot of the details that I'm still trying to fill in, especially dealing with certain tax issues. And, a bit shamelessly, this book promotes a whole line of other Nolo books to buy to fill in these gaps, which in the end you probably need about 3-4 other books, and another $100 or so. I do think the general information given was good, it obviously doesn't address each and every detailed situation that arises.

I still haven't found a really good source for guidance on bookkeeping/accounting, and there isn't really any software package that I've found that addresses managing a Trust which must make distributions to more than one beneficiary, which means either I haven't been looking hard enough (though I've tried) or that this is such a niche need that it doesn't exist (which is hard to believe).

Between this and the Dummies book (Estate and Trust Administration for Dummies) I'd actually recommend the Dummies book over this one.
