Estate Planning Through Family Meetings (Without Breaking up the Family)

the long version

Have you ever tried to bring up sensitive topics such as Wills, money, insurance or loss of mental capacity with your parents? Are they reluctant to do their planning? Is your family having trouble sorting out these issues that affect everyone? This book will help you successfully bring up these topics. It will show you how to hold a family meeting and how to follow up on the meeting to make sure the meeting results in a documented, legally effective estate plan. It contains sample forms and checklists. Unlike the author's previous books, this one is not aimed only at Canadian readers, as it will apply to families everywhere.
