Finance β¦ Penny’s Take
Price on Contemporary Estate Planning
John Richard Price Β· 2008
Price on Contemporary Estate Planning is authoritative, comprehensive, and exactly what a working estate planning attorney or tax professional needed in 2008 β integrated forms, checklists, real-world examples, and rigorous legal coverage from Price and Donaldson. The 2008 edition is now meaningfully outdated for active practice given subsequent tax law changes, which is the single serious limitation. Within its intended professional audience and publication year, it was a strong single-volume reference; for anyone who can access a current edition or supplement it with updated law, the foundational framework still holds.
