The layout of this book reflects its emphasis on simplicity and clarity. Its scope includes a general overview of the estate planning process. It then addresses the rules involved in estate planning and the various ways in which estates may be structured to achieve desired tax effects.

kblaw3.0 颗星，最多 5 颗星Don't spend the money on the 2013 edition -
已在美国亚马逊上发表已确认购买This is basically the same as of the 2012 edition.
The authors failed to wait for the tax changes created by the "fiscal cliff."
Why put out a 2013 edition if it is not going to reflect the signigicant changes which occurred in 2012?

已在美国亚马逊上发表已确认购买Great!KY Tax Atty3.0 颗星，最多 5 颗星Great book, poor updating -
已在美国亚马逊上发表I purchased this book at a university bookstore.
I couldn't decide whether to give it one star or five.
The book itself is a FANTASTIC resource for estate planning practice.
Possibly the best book I've had throughout law school.
Why then do I give it a three star rating?The authors frequently talk about estate planning amongst spouses as if portability of the unified credit were not in place.
It seems to me that the authors did not care (or did not have time) to update the book.
To me, charging nearly $300 for a new addition of a textbook is highly questionable when there are aspects which are clearly not yet updated.In sum, I would give this book 5+ stars for its content.
I give it three stars here because I felt somewhat cheated having bought the 2014 version that does not fully reflect the changes in spousal portability.
Would I recommend the book?
Absolutely.
But let's be fair: the authors ought to put more effort into updates before coming out with a new edition.
