Book description
AARP Digital Editions offer you practical tips, proven solutions, and
expert guidance.
Surrogate Court dockets are filled with cases involving family
members fighting over the assets and intentions of a deceased parent
or spouse. Probate Wars of the Rich & Famous: An Insider's
Guide to Estate Planning and Probate Litigation tracks the
estate litigation cases of Anna Nicole Smith, Brooke Astor, Michael
Jackson, Nina Wang, Jerry Garcia and Leona Helmsley and identifies the
five universal factors that caused such disputes. Each chapter
provides estate planning insights designed to help individuals plan
their estates without causing litigation. If, however, probate
litigation cannot be avoided, the book also provides invaluable
lessons about undue influence claims, how to remove a fiduciary,
demanding an estate accounting and claims seeking to set aside
lifetime transfers that undermined the decedents intentions. Few - if
any - estate planning books utilize colorful celebrity accounts to
provide meaningful insights and actionable advice.
