I left knowing much more about estate planning than when I started. The use of examples throughout is particularly helpful, as well as a couple of pro tips that are sprinkled throughout. My particular situation, living as abroad as a US expat, is touched on only briefly; but I understand that an intro book can only not cover so much ground.
