Covering the emotional problems that could occur after a death [Posted on 2006-01-27]
I thpought I had covered all bases in having a will, a living will and a durable power of attorney. Upon reading Creating the Good Will, I realized there was a lot I hadn't addressed. This month I will talk to my sons about all the issues not covered in my will. There are quite a few, and thanks to this book, I can discuss them now. The book is written in an easy to understand way and should be a must read for those preparing their wills.Things to be discussed are laid out in an easy to follow way. An excellent help for making plans for the future.

The Good Will helps create a holistic will [Posted on 2006-02-18]
Creating the Good Will is an eye opener. As an elder care columnist/speaker/author I've read and written about this subject many times. As a veteran of 20 years of caregiving, I've had to deal with a lot of end-of-life paperwork. Elizabeth Arnold has written the most readable, well-rounded and compassionate book on end-of-life planning that I've read, and she's made it enjoyable, as well. Her gift for stories, which I believe are the best teachers, makes this book come alive. I recommend it to anyone interested in the subject - which we all should be.

Avoid Problems Down the Road [Posted on 2006-08-26]
As a legal aid hotline attorney and also the owner of a medical supply business, I frequently hear about the stress, conflict and heartache that careless estate planning can cause in families. This excellent book presents individuals planning their estates with excellent suggestions and issues to think about to avoid future problems. There is a lot more to estate planning than dollars and cents and this insightful and thoughtful book helps make important, difficult decisions easier. I will recommend this book to my customer and clients.

Very helpful book on touchy subject [Posted on 2006-08-27]
This book deals with the emotional side of the will - how to pass on your values and feelings as well as your money. How to discuss your will (or not) with your heirs beforehand, and how to write it so there will be no wrangling afterwards.

I WISH it would have said a little more about 'how to' have the difficult conversations beforehand - please - put words in my mouth - but others may not have the same issues with that.

This book was great. Helpful, easy to read , and with lots of good advice and insite. I've shared copies with 5 people, and will order more. Really helps identify some pitfalls in estate planning. Wish my Mom had used it!
