Product Description

Product Description
A thorough, straightforward handbook that gives all you need to deal with the complete legal and financial process of wills and probate yourself. Written by a solictor specializing in wills and probate, the book contains the necessary specimen forms and letters as well as useful addresses.

From the Author
This book is written as a step by step guide for the layperson through the often confusing procedures which must necessarily follow from the sad death of a relative or friend. It will guide you through registering the death, arranging and finding the money to pay for the funeral, claiming social security benefits, winding up the financial side whether or not there is a will and much more.

In it I have set out the information I acquired and the advice I am able to give as the result of working as a solicitor specialising in dealing with wills, death and probate matters for over thirty years.

I have included a full index and an extensive collection of suggested letters, forms and useful addresses.

The book should enable the reader to save considerable sums in legal fees and much worry at a necessarily distressing time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Death & Probate - a self help guide, 9 Oct 2003
By Paul Young (FRINTON-ON-SEA, ESSEX United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Simple and practical guide to an extremely complex and emotive subject. It will certainly assist an individual to deal with a simple estate without using the services of a solicitor. The example letters at the back are straightforward and easy to adapt. The writer clearly has used his lengthy experience in this area of the law to excellent effect for the benefit of people who do not possess his legal knowledge and expertise in such matters. Well done Mr. Bowley

3.0 out of 5 stars Death & Probate - Practical Comment, 23 Jun 2004
By David F Levy (HANTS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book covers making & executing/administering a will in England & Wales (Note: This legal jurisdiction is important and unclear from the author's and amazon's description). As stated by others the pro-forma letters are useful. It is written in a style appropriate to its most common readers i.e. the recently bereaved, its easy to read and very inoffensive. Its good on probate & wills, but weak on tax affairs (presumably to aid the books longevity).

I bought this book and found it useful when needing this knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Book, 12 May 2003
By kevin197@yahoo.com (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
This book, which is easy to read, is a practical guide which sets out and explains in chronological order what needs to be done following a death.

It tells you exactly what to do, how to do it, when you might need professional help and comes equipped with specimen letters, useful addresses and a full index. All in all it is excellent value for money and the author is obviously a master of his subject.
