2008 update not indicated on publisher's page, 2008-09-03
I just received this book, and although the cover has updated edition stamped on it, the publisher's page does not list the 2008 updated edition date at all. Also, the table of contents is exactly the same as the 2005 edition. So, what were the supposed updates exactly? Why doesn't the updated publishing date show on the publisher's page?

Great Book, 2008-02-16
This book was an easy to read book that provided some helpful information. Brought up some topics that I had never thought of and I appreciated that. I liked that it was an updated version and mentioned new rules, etc. Would recommend!

A must read for anyone making a will or serving as an executor, 2008-02-09
Great book. Gives a comprehensive background on the do's and dont's of setting up a will. Also gives a step by step blueprint of tasks handled by executors. Hopefully the next edition will cover a little more for elder/medical cost estate planning. All in all this is a five star book.
