Legal Jargon Explained in Simple Terms

I appreciate that this book lays out a clear plan, but even more appreciated that it explained all the legal terms in easy to understand terms. I had no idea what a living trust was, nor it's implications. I didn't even understand fully what probate was. There were many takeaways from this book that really helped me.

Simplify Estate Planning.

This is a great book to listen to because it is a topic I find many don't know much about it. Estate planning seems very intimidating but this book simplifies things like a living trust and describes it in easy-to-understand language. It's a great guide to estate planning and I recommend it.

I learned so much!

Protecting my assets was not a big priority in my 20s and 30s. But now that I am a bit older, I knew it was time to think about the future and my family. I was attracted to this book because it was designed for beginners, which I am. I didn't realize there was so much I could do now to save on taxes today and in the future for my family. This is definitely a great book to listen to!

Great Book!

I love this audible! If you are a perfectionist like me, this book will hit home. It really made me think about my choices and how to change them into positive action. It really points out how to "quiet the noise" and stop the spiraling. I found it very inspirational.

No law degree required!

I literally had no idea where to start. That's not a problem after you read/listen to this book. It is a straightforward guide that spells things out in simple, easily understood instructions. I found it very helpful. I loved the clear explanations and real-world examples.
