New Book To Help Families Avoid Celebrity Estate Planning Blunders
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) October 22, 2009
The highly publicized estate battles of several deceased celebrities have cast a bright spotlight on the importance of having the proper estate planning. Although mega-rich celebrities seem to be affected overwhelmingly by these brutal family squabbles, the new book ?Trial & Heirs: Famous Fortune Fights!? is designed to help every family, regardless of income level, avoid the financial pitfalls that drained bank accounts and created huge family rifts for the dozens of superstars profiled in the book.
?Trial & Heirs? uses real stories to help readers steer clear of the same celebrity ?estate errors? as they plan for their own ?heirs.? The stories cover well known legal fights over famous fortunes: including the recent battles over Michael Jackson?s estate, along with other celebrities like Ted Kennedy; Anna Nicole Smith; Brooke Astor; Heath Ledger, Ray Charles; Princess Di; Jimi Hendrix; Frank Sinatra; Martin Luther King Jr.; and Rosa Parks? as well as many others that most people aren?t even aware of. The book gives readers a front row seat in the courtroom while the authors replay the ?tabloid drama?, point out what went wrong in these riveting cases, and teach readers how to avoid similar errors.
?Trial & Heirs: Famous Fortune Fights!? was written by co-authors Andrew Mayoras and Danielle Mayoras, legacy expert attorneys with strong reputations and extensive experience in estate planning, probate, elder law, and litigation. The husband and wife team are two of the co-founders of The Center for Elder Law, The Center for Special Needs Planning, and The Center for Probate Litigation.
?Here we have common problems that could easily be avoided,? says co-author Andrew Mayoras, a probate litigator who writes the popular Probate Lawyer Blog . ?We want to teach people about the importance of proper legacy planning, because these fights don?t just happen to the rich and famous,? he says. Andrew says because his job is battling in the trenches of probate court, he sees first-hand the devastation caused by poor planning. ?If by writing this book we help keep families from feuding in court, then we?ve accomplished our mission.?
Co-author Danielle Mayoras agrees. ?As an estate planner and educator, the most frequent question I?m asked is: ?How do I get my parents to talk about these issues?? This book is the answer,? says co-author Danielle Mayoras, a professional speaker, attorney, and credentialed professional gerontologist. ?Our goal was to take a difficult topic that no one wants to talk about and make it fun and entertaining with the use of famous stories.? Danielle says they want to spark people into action to protect their families and legacies through the proper estate planning.
The book is scheduled for a November release from Wise Circle Books and is listed at $ 19.95.
It is already getting rave reviews from many who have seen advance copies, including: Hollywood producers Karen Baldwin and Ken Wales as well as national radio talk show host Danny Fontana, famed Hollywood publicist Michael Levine and more.
