Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Make Your Own Simple Will
Mark Warda · 2005
63/100
👍 Worth It
Attorney Mark Warda gives you ready-to-use forms and plain-language instructions for the most common will scenarios, and four editions confirm genuine demand for exactly that. The ceiling is real though: this is a 2005 publication in a state-specific area of law, and estate rules have shifted since. For a simple estate with modest assets it remains a reasonable starting point—just verify anything important with a current source.
