Posthumous Interests: Legal and Ethical Perspectives Book

A solid, informative read.
Good for anyone who is inheriting, may inherit, or even those who are evaluating their pending estate and making plans to pass it on. This book provided good, factual, contextual and directive information to provide a basic framework of education and FYI points to help people plan for what is likely an inevitable event in everyone's life.

While many of the case studies dealt with instances of significant wealth transfer, the preparation, planning and "to do" checklist of actions and suggestions is valid and applicable to any scenario of estate transfer, regardless of size.

In no way does this supplant the need for sound financial and legal advice from experts in the field, but it does provide a nice starting point to point you in the right direction. If you're assessing your own estate plans, and even moreso if you're anticipating the need or opportunity to speak with your parents about THEIR plans, I'd suggest this as an excellent read.
