In this easy-to-read guide, they provide reliable advice on a myriad of topics including guardianship, powers of attorney, trusts, probate, small and family businesses, charitable giving, tax planning, insurance and much more.

* Selecting retirement residences and nursing homes

* Preparing a will that can't be contested

* Avoiding family feuds and spousal disputes
