From the Author:

Invaluable for Estate Planning!
.

We know you will find BEYOND THE GRAVE absolutely invaluable. It is the only book in America that tells you how to recognize and resolve the most common family inheritance problems. As we say in our book: Your children may be perfect...your children may love each other...but when it comes to dividing the money, it's a whole new ballgame.

We wrote BEYOND THE GRAVE in an easy-to-read "Ann Landers" style "Q & A" format. In fact, Ms. Landers devoted an entire column to our book, which we understand she does with books only once or twice a year.

The public has enthusiastically embraced BEYOND THE GRAVE, and it is now the best-selling family inheritance book in America.

We strongly believe that recognizing an inheritance problem before it occurs is 95% of its solution. BEYOND THE GRAVE offers 45 chapters on every inheritance issue, including the following:
*The First One to Mom's House After Her Funeral Wins.
*You Really Don't Know Your Children--Until They Divide Their Inheritance.
*If You Don't Want the Blame--Treat Your Children the Same.
*After You Child Inherits--Will It Be There for Your Grandchild?
*Are Your Children Spending Their Inheritance--And You're Not Dead Yet?
*There's No Place Like Home--Until Your Children Fight Over It After You DIe.
*Protecting Your Surviving Spouse's Ownership and Control of the Family Money.
*How to Leave More to Your Children and Grandchildren and Less to the IRS
*How Can I Get My Parents to Do Something?
*Preventing Your Money from Ending Up with Your Spouse's Bowling Instructor.
