Protect what you’ve built and take care of the people you love — Estate Planning 101 by personal finance experts Vicki Cook and Amy Blacklock is the most accessible and comprehensive guide to estate planning ever written for everyday people. Whether you’re just starting out or have accumulated significant assets, this book walks you through everything you need to know to create a solid estate plan — without the confusion, fear, or expensive mistakes.

About This Book

• Covers the essential components of a complete estate plan — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives (living wills), beneficiary designations, and guardianship for minor children
• Explains the difference between a will and a trust — revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, and when each is the right choice for your situation
• Addresses estate taxes and how to minimise them — the federal estate tax exemption, gift tax rules, step-up in basis, and strategies for passing wealth to heirs tax-efficiently
• Guides you through what happens when someone dies without an estate plan (intestate succession) — and why having even a basic plan is infinitely better than having none at all
• Part of the trusted “101” series — warm, practical, and perfectly structured for readers at every stage of life and wealth level
