BOOK REVIEWS OF Guiding Those Left Behind

 
ARIZONA
Ben T. Traywick of the Tombstone Epitaph said “This book is an excellent reference book that simplifies all the necessary tasks that must be done when there is a death in the family. There is even an explanation as to how you can arrange your own estate so that your heirs will not be left with a multitude of nagging problems.” “The reviewer has been going through probate for two years with no end yet in sight. This book at the beginning two year ago would have helped immensely.”
 
CALIFORNIA
Margot Petit Nichols of the Carmel Pine Cone called it a “. . . TRULY RIVETING READ.” “ . . . I could scarcely put it down.” “This is a book that we should all have, either on our book shelves or thoughtfully placed with our important papers.”

A Will is Not Enough in New Mexico

By Amelia E. Pohl, Esq. and New Mexico Attorney Thomas G. Rice

Copyright 2004     ISBN 1-892407-88-4     6"x 9"     300 pages     $26.95  

 

 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:

CHAPTER 5.  MANAGE YOUR PERSONAL DEBT
CHAPTER 6. LIMIT YOUR BUSINESS DEBT
CHAPTER 7.  PROVIDE FOR A MINOR CHILD
PROVIDE FOR A DISABLED PERSON
CHAPTER 8.  APPOINT SOMEONE TO MAKE YOUR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS IN THE EVENT YOU ARE TOO ILL TO DO SO
CHAPTER 9. APPOINT SOMEONE TO MANAGE YOUR FINANCES IN THE EVENT THAT YOU CAN’T
CHAPTER 10. A MEDICAID QUALIFYING PLAN  This chapter explains how to qualify for MEDICAID in New Mexico.
CHAPTER 11. PROTECT THE HOMESTEAD when on MEDICAID

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.

How to Defend Yourself Against Your Lawyer

By AMELIA E. POHL, ESQ.

Copyright 2004 ISBN 1-892407-57-4 6"x 9" 274 pages $17.95

This book is about the unhappy experiences people have with their lawyers, included that of the author. She became involved in a law suit and found herself in the role of client, rather than lawyer.

The book is divided into chapters that cover the most common problems that take people to a lawyer: divorce, probate, criminal, personal injury, starting a business, making a Will, buying a house, etc. Each chapter tells of the misadventures of the unwary as they sought the services of a lawyer without a clue as to what they were "buying." This book is funny, sad, interesting, but most of all informative. It tells the reader how to become a savvy consumer, i.e., how to find the right lawyer for the right job. If you ever find the need to employ a lawyer, you will be glad you read this book.
