The Multistate Guide to Estate Planning gives the estate planning professional instant access to the estate planning laws of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In one comprehensive source, this Guide provides state-by-state guidance on how to minimize state taxes to preserve the multistate estate, achieve the desired disposition of property regardless of jurisdiction, resolve commonly encountered state law problems in estate practice, and assure asset protection. The easy-to-use format enables the estate planning professional to readily locate information concerning one state’s treatment of a particular issue (or compare the treatment required by several states) all on the same table. Each table is broken into detailed, separate analyses, which consist of a series of detailed questions. The tables are designed for state-by-state comparisons. All information in the new and updated charts generally reflects state laws in effect on May 31, 2023.
The Multistate Guide to Estate Planning is divided into 14 Tables each addressing a different topic.
