    The Practical Guide to Estate Planning is designed for the everyday use of individuals whose work requires an understanding of any aspect of estate planning. The text is easily accessible to those with little background in estate planning who want to gain a more complete understanding of the tools of the estate planner while still addressing issues of concern to the more experienced estate planner. The sophisticated estate planner often needs to provide explanations to clients in terms that a lay person can understand.

    The first section of the book provides an overview of the estate planning process, how property passes upon death (including the different rules applicable to probate and nonprobate property), a description of basic estate planning documents and the role of the trust in estate planning. The second section of the book focuses on the tax principles involved in estate planning and how basic estate plans are structured to take advantage of tax saving opportunities. The third section of the book addresses some of the more specialized topics in estate planning including the generation-skipping transfer tax, charitable planning, issues of particular concern to the business owner, a description of the various types of life insurance and its uses in estate planning, retirement benefits, including the special rules for withdrawals and the problems and opportunities involved in passing on retirement benefits at death, and the estate planning opportunities that are available after a person has died. The final section of the book contains a set of estate planning forms with comprehensive annotations.
