Product Description
From Booklist
Almost all books on estate planning explain how to maximize inheritance, minimize taxes, avoid probate, set up trusts, etc. The Condons, father and son lawyers, do this, too, but what they also do is consider the psychological and emotional aspects of leaving and inheriting money. Presenting more scenarios than a season full of made-for-television movies, the Condons cover such possibilities as "protecting" the inheritance from one's child's spouse, preventing squabbles over inherited property, selecting trustees or guardians, avoiding disputes between second spouses and children of one's first marriage, leaving money for pets, etc. With good sense, humor, and authority, the authors provide a thorough look at inheritance planning with an eye toward maintaining good, stable family relations well after the estate has been settled.

A must read before putting your estate plan to work,
By "samco3" (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond The Grave Revised Edition: The Right Way And The Wrong Way (Paperback)
I first read Beyond the Grave some years ago. I thought it was incitefull and touched on the human aspect of transferring wealth that was missing in other books that I read on this subject. I read it again recently. This time my personal situation had changed and I had a specific need for the kind of information. I found that it was written in a form that seemed to me as "personal advice".I was pleased that I could zero in on particular aspects of the book because of how wonderfully organized it was. I was further impressed by the detail of all aspects of a given question and how easily I could apply it to my personal situation. I almost felt that I was having a dialog with the Condons.The book is full of important advice for making difficult decisions that can effect the lives of your loving beneficiaries after you are gone. Information and ideas that I could not have thought of without the assistance of this book. I holdheartedly recommend this book.

Everyone Can Learn Something from this Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond The Grave Revised Edition: The Right Way And The Wrong Way (Paperback)
I thought this book pointed out many types of situations and gave good ideas and strategies for avoiding problems both while you are living and after you die and leave your assets to your beneficiaries. I did, however, feel that a lot of the examples were geared for those with significant estates. Most of the examples discuss people with estates well over $1,000,000. With that being said, even though my estate doesn't come close to this amount, the author gave me a lot to think about and I felt he had excellent advice -- even if all of it didn't apply to my particular situation.In my opinion, no matter how big or small your estate is, this book is worth the read if you are planning your estate. I feel that everyone has something to learn from the various situations the authors discuss in their book. Thank you Gerald and Jeffery Condon for being the eyes and ears from beyond the grave and helping us all learn from yours and your many clients mistakes.

Best Book on Estate Planning,
By Wayne Robertson (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond The Grave Revised Edition: The Right Way And The Wrong Way (Paperback)
The #1 reason I bought this book compared to other estate book is because of the wonderful reviews. This is the second estate book that I've read. Reading this book from cover to cover says it all. It is a fantastic book on estate planing. The first estate book left me a bit comfused, but after reading this book I understand it all. Don't make a will or living trust without first reading this book. It has human nature emotions and question that you are too scared to ask. It even have the consequences of making decision based on other people experience.
