Wills Road Map: Practical Considerations in Will Drafting

From introduction: "The purpose of Wills Road Map is to pull together legal concepts from various areas that impact the preparation of wills, including wills, probate, and trust law. While it features a very basic discussion of estate tax planning, the primary focus is on the various state law issues [...] to provide practical help, so the emphasis is on addressing principles that can affect the will beyond the language used in the will itself" (p. xiii).
