Synopsis

Essential reading for an executor and anyone thinking about making or updating a will, How to Write Your Will is full of expert advice and easy-to-use information set out in jargon free language. It covers all the important issues, including: why to write a will; where to start; tax and legal considerations; and the problems of dying intestate. It also provides detailed instructions for executors on valuing and administering an estate prior to winding it up.

Fully revised to include all new changes to tax laws and new laws that involve bedding down periods for trusts, How to Write Your Will now features an extended chapter on documentation with more help in disseminating revenue, a 'how to' section and an explanation of the documents themselves. Packed with helpful information, practical examples and FAQ's, it is the complete guide to wills and probate.
