Easy to read legal advice for Canadians,
By
This review is from: The Family War: Winning the Inheritance Battle (Paperback)
Atin, Fish and Kotzer's "The Family War: Winning the Inheritance Battle" is an easy-to-read, helpful and informative book for real or potential heirs, beneficiaries and executors to an Estate, written from a uniquely Canadian perspective. Using a variety of real life examples acquired from years of legal practice in the field of Estate Administration, Atin, Kotzer and Fish provide strategies for preparing or defending an Estate challenge, as well as tips to minimize the existence of conflict with siblings, spouses, ex-spouses and other relatives in cases of Estate disputes. Though the basis for many Estate conflicts are often related to a person's assets, Kotzer, Atin and Fish remind us that similar disagreements can also occur with sentimental value items, as well. From the onset, the reader is cautioned from fighting "The Family War" too strongly, as even "winning" The Family War can come at the cost of losing a brother, sister or other close relative.Due to the fact that jurisdiction, as well as a person's personal circumstances can vary so much, Kotzer, Fish and Atin are justifiably cautious about providing too much legal information and oftentimes, recommend that the reader seek his or her own legal advice. In spite of this expected ambiguity, their years of legal experience reiterate to the reader that Estate litigation is by no means a sure thing, in spite of how strong your case might be. In spite of a dying parent's intentions, courts care about the proof, not the truth and that settling is better than having the Estate consumed by legal fees. Kotzer, Atin and Fish also provide a lot of advice for real or potential Estate executors and the common pitfalls associated with the added responsibility of administering an Estate. The book also provides some dangers associated with making a Will without legal assistance, as entire cases have turned on the definition of a word. Seeking out legal advice can ensure that a Will is prepared in an unambiguous legal language. All in all, I would strongly recommend this read. In the end, this book is not so much about how to "win" The Family War, it is about strategies to make better manage, resolve and "fight" it.

Informative, If Overpriced,
By Jeffrey W. Zekas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Family War: Winning the Inheritance Battle (Paperback)
This book covers all the bases, in regards to that next inheritance battle that you will have (and believe me, it WILL happen!). The book IS rather over-priced: twenty-eight bucks, for a rather slim volume! Otherwise, worth a look, just to give you an overview, of what you're in for, when the folks pass away.

Wish I had it sooner,
By refto - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Family War: Winning the Inheritance Battle (Paperback)
I just got the book and I wish I had it sooner... I would have saved a ton of lawyers fees and so would my dad... It seems like the writers were talking about my family when they wrote it... Get it now before you waste more money...I got it for $22 so it was a better deal... |
