Estate and Pension Planning Guides For the Layperson, Attorney, CPA and Financial Planner  
I am not intending to give legal advice by making these materials available. Legal advice would require an intimate knowledge of a person's individual circumstances, and a tailoring of that legal knowledge to those circumstances. These materials are being offered for free, and although I hope they will be useful to you, they are not to be relied upon. If you want specific legal advice, you should consult, and pay, a lawyer.

This is my Nutshell Series. Some of these guides are in a larger shell than others, but most were originally designed by me to inform my clients about some of the things that even a layperson ought to understand, if the person is involved with the technique under discussion.

To view or download more comprehensive articles, designed for the professional rather than the layperson, return to the main articles page.

A few of the documents may be zipped in a self-extracting format. To unzip it, simply click on it and pay attention to the location where the unzipped document will be found. The unzipped document can be directly opened with your word processor. Zipping the files decreases the transfer rate dramatically, and takes up less space on my web site. However, because T-1 lines and faster transfer rates are more generally available than formerly, I am now using the zipped format only for the very large files.

You do not need to have WinZip to open a self-extracting archive, but if you are interested in purchasing WinZip, click below.
