Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in Texas
Linda C. Ashar · 2011
62/100
👎 Skip It
A practicing attorney co-authored this Texas-specific guide, and the state-level detail on probate code, healthcare directives, and asset protection is the real differentiator from national guides. The concern is age: published in 2011, Texas law has evolved in the years since, and Atlantic Publishing does not carry the editorial rigor of Nolo. Useful orientation for Texas residents, but verify anything legally sensitive against current state statutes or a local attorney.
