How to Avoid Probate Book Series

State-by-State Guides for Families

Simple explanations of probate, estate planning, wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, and the state-specific rules that may affect your family.

Estate Planning Is Not Exactly the Same in Every State

The basic goals may be similar, but probate procedures, property laws, available planning tools, court practices, and other rules can differ from one state to another.

That is why we created the How to Avoid Probate series.

Each edition combines plain-English estate-planning education with information specific to the state where you live.
