Inadequate
This book is woefully inadequate even for someone who already has a good idea what a living trust is about. The author presents forms with filled-in lines as examples that leave no options and there is almost no text to explain the essense of the forms so that one can tailor the entries. Even with another book at hand explaining the purpose of a trust and what it has to say, the forms in this book leave one without guidance for personalizing the trust. There may be some who feel these forms meet their needs but then one is left to wonder if they really know what they're doing. The author gives his phone no. and encourages users of his book to call him with questions but when I did, one response was something like, "Well, that's a lawyerly question". When I asked how to phrase something other than the 3 options given for the declaration of trust he offers, he said that all he offers is what is in the book.In all, I find this book limited, narrow and lacking sufficient backup for writing one's own living trust.
