Extremely Favorable

Excellent tool for learning about estate planning. A must read before meeting with a lawyer. Fun to read and very understandable.

Candy coated estate planning

Sitting down to read a book on estate planning ranks right up there with a root canal on my list of favorite pastimes. But this book is refreshingly different. It really is possible to get solid information on a serious legal topic and have fun at the same time! As an attorney specializing in the field, Hawley knows his stuff. He also knows how to write in an entertaining, humorous way. Maybe the IRS could enlist him for the next revision of the 1040 instructions. Highly recommended!

A Must Have

This is a delightful book on an otherwise complex and daunting subject. The author leads you step by step down the aisles of estate planning with humor and insight. The Artful Dodger's Guide to Planning Your Estate is a must have for anyone interested in learning how to run the rapids of the estate tax system.

An essential read

An essential read to maximize the time you spend with your estate planner. Well worth the money in what I saved in legal fees. The Artful Dodger and his family are not only entertaining, but take you step-by-step through otherwise complicated tax laws. Compared to other books on the market regarding estate planning, this book tells you exactly what you need to know to aid your attorney in making the best decision for you and your family.

Estate planning made lucid!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book on estate planning. Finally a guide that is not only laden with complicated material made easy, but also humorous and easy to navigate. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to gain an overview of the intricacies of estate planning while still maintaining their sanity (and sense of humor).
