About the Author :
Charles K. Plotnick, L.L.B., is an attorney in Pennsylvania and specializes in estate planning. He is professor of estate planning at Temple University in Philadelphia. Stephan R. Leimberg, J.D., is CEO of Leimberg Information Services, Inc., a provider of tax law commentary.

Review :
“A clearly-written guide for someone who just found out that he or she is executor or trustee of an estate. Factors to consider, questions to ask and checklists to consult may all add up to the authors' laudable goal of ‘less billable hours with your attorney.’”—The Dallas Morning News   “Attorneys Plotnick and Leimberg have substantially updated their clear, comprehensive manual for executors and trustees of an estate... The new edition shines in its use of sample documents and checklists. It also addresses the psychological aspects of death and of being an executor… An excellent and handy book.”—Library Journal
