Few tasks are as daunting as settling an estate. Yet somebody—usually a relative or friend—has to do it for every person who dies. The person to whom the job falls often faces a seemingly impenetrable maze.

This book is designed to guide that person through the process as simply and easily as possible. It offers step-by-step instructions for settling estates from the simple to the complex. It also provides tips for choosing lawyers and accountants, if they are needed, as well as for keeping accurate records. A final chapter explains what to do to assure that your own estate is settled according to your wishes and in the easiest way.
