“I was knocked out, and quite surprised to be knocked out, by Deborah Jacobs’s self-published Estate Planning Smarts: A Practical, User-Friendly, Action-Oriented Guide ... It is everything its subtitle claims: simplifying complex issues, humanizing them in terms not just of money but of values, and personalizing them with anecdotes about the estate plans of, among others, Paul Newman, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Chief Justice Warren Burger.”
– Nick Murray Interactive

– Gerry W. Beyer, Wills, Trusts & Estates Prof Blog
