Author Description

There are many books written about estate planning but very little discussing about the impact those decisions have on connected people, individuals, and family members. The majority of books are written from a legal perspective, which assists the professional reader, such as a lawyer or barrister and not the softer side of the management of the estate. My advice for information purposes is not to draft your own will or trust but to find a competent legal firm to advise you. The purpose of this book is to equip a person with tools and techniques for situations that can happen in the real world. This book is not intended as a self-help guide but more of a theoretical and practical approach using project management tools and techniques. This is not only to help solve a legal problem but also to introduce estate planning from a humanistic perspective. Therefore, this book is readable for a lay person who wishes and desires to research this subject in depth and take control of his or her own legal affairs during the administration of the estate. More importantly, the reader will have the right mind-set for the important obligation that rest upon their shoulders. This book focuses on what the project executor does, what skills set he or she requires during the project life cycle, and how to manage the stages until a conclusion or desired outcome is reached.
