Wills -- The Big Myth
What You Don't Know Can Hurt Your Family
By Robert M. Dunn and Joan F. Dorfman
Wills—The Big Myth differs from other books about Wills in that
it dispels common misconceptions that impede effective estate planning. It
offers a primer on the function and limitations of Wills, exposes common
problems that many families have faced due to those limitations, and focuses on
other common myths that are associated with estate planning.
Robert Dunn’s philosophy about estate planning evolved through years of
attending professional seminars, self-education and working with clients to
design and execute their estate plans. He came to realize that many well
intentioned but misinformed parents were protecting their families with Wills
that were either worthless pieces of paper or that would accomplish considerably
less than they expected. Although there were numerous estate planning books, the
word was not.
Wills—The Big Myth includes four appendices: a sample Will; financial
questionnaires for singles and married couples; instructions for the care of
children and messages to children; and a list of professional estate planning
organizations. It also includes a comprehensive glossary, suggested reading and
an index.- Item# 0916W
