Estate Planning 101
Vicki Cook and Amy Blacklock. Adams, Aug.
This “crash course in preparing for the unexpected” (per a burst on the cover) guides readers through the planning, decisions, and paperwork they’ll need to get in order before shuffling off this mortal coil. Cook and Blacklock, cofounders of the personal finance site Women Who Money, provide direction on life insurance, designating beneficiaries, writing a living will, and other necessities that ensure estates and sanity are protected.
