Book

book cover estate planning 101 by vicki cook and amy blacklock women who money

Estate Planning 101: From Avoiding Probate and Assessing Assets to Establishing Directives and Understanding Taxes, Your Essential Primer to Estate Planning

Authors Vicki Cook & Amy Blacklock, Published by Adams Media an imprint of Simon & Schuster

“Estate Planning 101 happened to hit my desk at exactly the right time. We’ve had the documents Vicki and Amy describe for about 10 years now — yes, we should have had them sooner — and they are due for an update. We’ll be meeting with our attorney this fall, and I had been reviewing what we had and creating a list of questions and things we need to add and/or subtract. This book is simple, to the point, very well organized, and clearly written. It is exactly the guide I needed. That’s coming from a guy whose eyes glaze over on this subject. You probably need it too.” JL Collins


“5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have estate planning book!! Don't let this deceptively small book fool you. It's chock full of great and relevant estate planning details you NEED TO KNOW. There's a lot to like here. First of all, it's not a huge book that will scare most people away. Nope, it's a small hard covered, and inviting book. I devoured it in just a few days because the content was easy to digest.

More importantly, the book covers the essentials of WHY you need to get your estate plan organized. If you have a family, the last thing you'd want for them is to have to suffer anymore in your absence. This book will help walk you through the process of identifying what's important to you and your family.” – Amazon Reviewer
