From Davenport Publishing and written by attorneys this book covers "Estate Planning" in Ohio which is doing legal documents to later control health care, property, money, children, and funeral if absent, sick, or dead. This book written by attorneys is short so may read rough but lets person read in day basics of this area. The book also has ready-to-use legal forms people can quickly see and use. To get forms people can 1) photocopy pages from a book (available at Amazon.com), 2) tear or cut out pages from book, or 3) at www.davenportpublishing.com download forms.
Forms can overlap or duplicate each other a lot. Most people do 1 or 2 forms, like many people do 1 Will and 1 health care form, but some people do more. Many people re-do forms about every 10 years.
