Executor's Guide: Settling a Loved One's Estate or Trust

14 reviews
Mary Randolph

NOLO, 2008

very informative book
This is a good book to have on hand. It helped get me started on my job as executor. The only thing that the book didn't mention is if one thing has to go through probate court, it all has to go through. After my Mom's death, we thought that we wouldn't have to put everything through probate court (like the book says), but since her house and car was not jointly owned, the lawyer said her ...

Big City Junk

Mary Randolph Carter

Clarkson Potter, 2001

Not Your Typical Style Book
BIG CITY JUNK, which was probably in production on September 11, 2001 (it arrived in bookstores a couple of months later), carries a special resonance because of the events of that day. What would otherwise be a lark of a style book appealing to the collectibles crowd becomes a small shrine as well for a piece of the New York lifestyle and psyche. In the course of celebrating the cast aside and ...

Mary Randolph

NOLO, 2007

Every dog owner and neighbor should read this
If you are thinking about buying a dog (it explains puppy mills, contracts to consider when you buy a dog and licensing laws); you already have a dog (laws you might want to consider even if you're sure your dog is always well-behaved and how to get dog insurance); you want to provide for your dog after your death (what may or may not work in your will); you hate your neighbor's dog's barking ...

wonderful read
I just recently used this book as part of my study to gain continuing professional education credits for my CPA license. I found it to be an excellent source for anyone who is currently planning his or her family's financial future. It's easy to understand, direct, and written with common-sense language. I will be recommending this book to my clients.

American Junk: 7

15 reviews
Mary Randolph Carter

Studio, 1997

Fun to Give and Receive
American Junk is not a how-to book as its subtitle suggests. Far more specific advice about hunting and haggling is available in flea market directories, and there really is no rescue or transformation involved: items acquired move directly to the table top, shelf, desk, floor, wherever. This is a celebration of cheap old stuff that others might ignore or take pains to avoid, an annointment of ...

Deeds for California Real Estate

Mary Randolph

NOLO, 2006

An unbelievable bargain
If you need to change a deed on your house or other real property -- changed your name, separated, married, adding a survivor to inherit -- don't pay a lawyer or title company hundreds of dollars to do it. Buy this book. Read the instructions carefully, fill out the forms and then go to the county recorder's office and file it yourself. Even if you have to pay for parking. If I can do it, anyone ...

How to Adopt Your Stepchild in California (Do Your Own California Adoption: Nolo's Guide for Stepparents & ...

2 reviews
Frank Zagone, Mary Randolph

Nolo, 1994

An easy and at times fun way to save thousands on adopting
This book is wonderful for anyone who wants to adopt their spouse's child and has the consent of the other bio-parent (or other stipulation such as the death of the bio-parent, etc.). It not only provides needed forms, but also has word-by-word examples of the documents you will need to type yourself (for me, that was actually fun!) Additionally, if you live in Los Angeles as I did during the ...

Key Results
Dr. Ward authors an excellent vision that translates the best of abstract educational-change theories into a concrete prescription to improve school facilities, student achievement, and fiscal efficiency. Improving Achievement in Low-Performing Schools is an excellent guide to turn a district that is culturally, academically, financially, and technologically bankrupt into a high-performance ...

How To Probate An Estate In California

15 reviews
Julia P. Nissley

NOLO, 2005

Indispensable. Beautifully written, thoughtfully compiled, and will save you a fortune.
After my mother passed away and I was named executor, I discovered something: California's probate system is a massive, elaborate joke designed to make lawyers rich. It's incomprehensible how convoluted the process is, and how absolutely ZERO help is available. (The court clerks I turned to answered every question with this: "I can't tell you! I'm not a judge!" And, of course, it's not like ...

Mary Randolph, Denis Clifford

NOLO, 1999

Good Overview
I bought this and two other books on the same subject. This is the one I read first. It covers 9 different aspects of the subject so you only have to read the chapters that are applicable to your situation. Very readable. A good place to start.

Nolo.com, 1994

Great book. but how do we make this happen??
excellent book. THIS is how the legal system in the USA should be run. simplified and affordable, easy access for everyone, NOT just for people with BIG money. the book is written by attorneys, and offers great ideas. But I don't beleive it mentions HOW to make the info in this book a reality, or if anyone is even trying too? Most attorneys don't want the system revamped and fair. why? ...
