Product Description
The first step-by-step guide to cover the entire probate process in plain everyday language. The Complete Probate Kit Over 5,000 estates enter the probate process every day in the United States--a process which you most probably will be involved in at least once in your lifetime. Each case, by law, requires either an executor or administrator to settle the estate. The Complete Probate Kit, the most comprehensive book of its kind, provides you with the basic knowledge of the probate process so that you and your beneficiaries can gain greater control of the financial fate of your estate. The Complete Probate Kit is comprehensive in scope--covering probate planning, settling an estate, probating personal property, probating real property, probating a business, taxes, and more. Along the way, you'll learn all the "probate language" you'll need to know. And the book includes sample probate forms and outlines probate requirements for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Also by Jens C. Appel III and F. Bruce Gentry and available from John Wiley . The Complete Will Kit This comprehensive book gives you all the information, expert advice, detachable forms, and related documents you need to do your own will quickly, easily, accurately, and less expensively than if you used the full services of an attorney. It offers expert guidance on all aspects of estate planning--including wills, trusts, gifts, and special instructions--from the basics through in-depth considerations.

 Good introduction to probate, 2008-05-15
Contains a good overview of the process with many things I
wasn't aware of. After reading this I felt much more comfortable
going to my attorney. I now understood the terms and lingo
involved with a relative's estate. The state by state differences
tables were good to have as well. My only nit is that this is
somewhat out of date. A revised edition would remedy that,
though.

Probate kit, 2008-01-25
This book had good lists and other information. I did use it for reference but ultimately needed an attorney to navigate through the probate system of another state. For simple estates this might be a worthwhile reference book, but if there is anything complicated and if you are not versed in interpreting lawyerly language it could be difficult.

The Complete Probate Kit, 2003-07-18
The book is a worthy investment because it provides a
step-by-step explanation of the probate process and the
requisite forms. Employees in the typical public probate
office are not necessarily required to instruct the public
on the intricacies of filling out these forms. Therefore,
a probate kit is an invaluable tool which depicts sample
executed forms in accordance with accepted format and
content standards.

The Complete Probate Kit, 2000-05-02
The Complete Probate Kit lives up to its name, and as the name indicates ("Kit"), presents the information in a format easy for readers to follow. Information is presented in both text and table format, making it very easy to read and understand. The authors have done an excellent job including information important not only during, but also before, the probate process a period often ignored. Another area that is given good coverage in this book is Intestate Succession, an area that is not easy to find information on outside of very technical, professional publications. A great reference for any Personal Representative.
