What is the best way to protect your legacy for your loved ones? Trial & Heirs™: Famous Fortune Fights! uses real celebrity stories to help you avoid estate ‘errors’ as you plan for your ‘heirs.’

It can also help you protect your rights when you’re concerned about your loved one’s true wishes not being followed.

• Setting up a trust for your children and loved ones to keep your affairs private, only to let the plan fail because the trust wasn’t funded… like Michael Jackson.

• Writing instructions to give property worth millions to your cherished godchildren, and then having those wishes completely ignored and kept secret . . . like Princess Diana.

• Leaving a substantial legacy from a brilliant musical career, only to have your family members wage a lengthy legal battle over it nearly forty years after your death . . . like Jimi Hendrix.

• The complex state of affairs of Anna Nicole Smith, Martin Luther King, Jr., Heath Ledger, James Brown, Edward “Ted” Kennedy, Brooke Astor, Frank Sinatra, and many others.

Finally! An explanation for these celebrity dramas we have watched on the news!

The book gives you a front row seat in the courtroom while the authors replay the scenarios and point out what went wrong, the winners and losers, and what you can learn from it. The fascinating details of famous fortune-holders who lived such exposed lives will hold your attention to the last page.

These cases attest to the dangers posed by the lack of good legacy planning, but they don’t just happen to the rich and famous. You’ll also marvel at the trapped farmer who scratched his will into a tractor bumper, the feuding heirs of a jazz man who was really a woman, and the wacky Canadian lawyer whose final wishes set off “The Great Stork Derby.”

Legacy expert attorneys Andrew and Danielle have seen first-hand how families can be torn in half when the legal planning is not in place or is not done properly. The combination of Andrew’s expertise as a probate litigator and prolific blogger and Danielle’s repute as a captivating speaker and estate planner creates a dynamic read with well-rounded perspectives. It not only entertains with fascinating true case stories, but also teaches what you need to know to protect your family.

This collection of stories emphasizes how estate planning – sometimes even the most basic documents – can make a big difference to a family after a loved one passes away. By including critical legal information that you can actually understand, the book acts as an easy-to-follow guide filled with great tips to teach you how to avoid a family fight! And what about those people already in a legal battle caused by faulty planning? The book educates them about what to do too.

Trial & Heirs: Famous Fortune Fights also includes “Ideas to Spark Family Discussion” that families can use to start a conversation with parents, grandparents, and other loved ones about estate planning. The wisdom in this book was gained from years of working with families who didn’t know what you are about to learn. This information is desperately needed, especially by the two-thirds of Americans who don’t have wills in place. From baby boomers, caregivers, and professionals working with seniors to new parents and law school students, everyone can learn how to protect families and legacies the right way.

The book offers practical advice to:

• Protect your family with a proper estate plan

• Start productive family discussions with parents and loved ones

• Protect your rights if you have a loved one who is aging or has passed away and you’re concerned about being treated fairly

• Navigate through difficult and emotional family fights that can result when the proper planning wasn’t done
