Kraemer, an attorney and speaker, presents a guide to estate and inheritance planning and types of plans, to serve as a resource before meeting with a planner. He describes basic concepts; tax planning; types, including living trusts, charitable plans, life insurance, and annuities; methods of communicating desires to family members; medical treatment and situations; and administration, giftmarks, and avoiding probate. The new edition takes recent changes to the law into account, has new graphics and charts, and replaces the Bypass Trust with the Family Security Trust. Other topics, such as retirement plans and profit sharing, have been expanded. The book is published by a division of the American Management Association.
