Summary of 8 Ways to Avoid Probate (Personal Finance Essentials)

Save your family money, time and headaches with a few easy steps. Probate can drag on for years, and can easily cost your family thousands of dollars -- money that would otherwise have gone to them.

8 Ways to Avoid Probate offers simple but effective methods to skip the entire process -- plus real-world examples of how others have used them. In the end, you'll understand:

  • payable-on-death accounts
  • naming beneficiaries
  • special procedures for small estates
  • using joint ownership of property
  • creating a living trust
  • making gifts of property and money
  • and more

    The 7th edition provides the latest estate and gift tax rules, updated 50-state tables on simplified probate, new IRS rules on inherited IRAs and 401(k)s. And more on how to leave real estate without probate -- 10 states now allow a special deed for this purpose. (20090101)
