The Organization of the Book
Many people who have a Will think that they have their
affairs in order. Should they die, then their property will go to the people
they have named in their Will. But it isn’t all that simple.
|
1. What will your beneficiaries inherit?
2. How will your property be transferred?
3. Can you (should you) avoid Probate?
|
We devoted a chapter to each of these issues. Once you read
chapters 1 though 3, you will have an understanding of what will happen to your
property should your die, with or without a Will.
Chapter 4 explains what a well drafted Will can do.
The rest
of the book deals with things that a Will cannot do and why a Will is not
enough. The book explains how to:

HOW AND WHEN TO UPDATE
YOUR ESTATE PLAN
|
The
Medicaid Chapters (10 and 11) alone are worth the price of the book. These
Chapters are COMPREHENSIVE. They tell: what property is exempt and does not
count as an asset when applying for MEDICAID; the rights of the spouse of
someone who is receiving MEDICAID benefits; how to legally spend-down so that
the patient can qualify as quickly as possible for MEDICAID; how to protect the
homestead once a person qualifies for MEDICAID and much, more.
This book is written
for the general public. It is interesting and easy to read.
