I wrote this book to explain very important things that nobody ever told you. There are things that could cause your wishes to be ignored or cause your Last Will & Testament to be invalid or unenforceable. People are disappointed all the time because they expect fairness to rule in the courtroom. But the court does not make estate distribution decisions off of fairness or what everybody knows you said you wanted to happen after you die. The court makes decisions by laws and some of the laws are not in your favor! You don't have to get caught in that trap! You can put together a good, enforceable plan. To make sure you are fully equipped to carry out your own personal wishes, read this book and find out what you need to know. Discover the impact of important factors and laws that nobody ever told you about!

A husband dies owning the marital home he bought with his wife. His wife had been gone twenty years, having run off with her lesbian lover. Little did the husband know, the Will he prepared giving his daughter his house was disallowed. Still being married to his wife, the law authorized the house be sold upon the wife's demand and the wife got 50% of the money. Nobody told the husband that his Will could not override the rights of the wife who abandoned him, that wife whom he never divorced! This is a very sad, but true story.

A well meaning father made his oldest daughter beneficiary on his $80,000 bank account with instructions to the daughter to share the money with her siblings. Well, the daughter kept all the money and when her siblings attempted to challenge her in court, the court said the money was not a probate asset and that it did not have jurisdiction. Nobody told this father that his strategy gave his daughter absolutely no supervision and, legally, she did not have to share the money. This daughter took advantage of the situation and her siblings never saw a dime!

A father wrote a will giving his son his house but the will was thrown out by the court because it didn’t have two witnesses. All of the father's family and friends knew what he wanted because he told them, wrote his version of a will and had it notarized by one of his best friends. That didn’t matter to the court because the will had no witnesses. The property was sold and the proceeds given to children he did not want to have anything! Nobody told this father that his well established intention would be ignored by the court if the will presented was not in conformity with the law that says there must be two witnesses. What this father didn't know ended up hurting him and the son who never got the house as the father intended!

In February 2017, an AARP article written by Barbranda Lumpkins Walls captured the longstanding saga of people not doing wills. The article was named, "Haven’t Done A Will Yet? You’ve got company. Neither have 6 of 10 U.S. Adults.”

In another publication the same type of statistics were found. Advance Capital Management’s Financial Living Blog published a June 2019 article titled “26 Must Know Statistics About Estate Planning." The article indicated that 55% of Americans die without a will and 74% of Americans believe estate planning to be a confusing topic. It also determined that 35% of Americans have personally experienced or know someone who has experienced family conflict as the result of not having an estate plan.

And then in the year 2020, Caring.com revealed an alarming trend in its 2020 Estate Planning and Wills Study. They found that fewer people are engaging in estate planning than in prior years, showing a 25% decrease in the number of people with a will since 2017. When asked why, many people said they lacked the education to understand the process.

This material, presented to you in person, would take at least 4 hours at $350 per hour based upon the author's legal training and experience. ($1400 Value) Because the material in the book has been captured in book form and made available to the public, it is far less costly to you to read at your leasure than to sit in front of an attorney at $350 an hour!
