Really, really interesting and helpful book. Gives you a pre-understanding of legal options before talking to an elder-law attorney in Florida. A very good presentation and useful for wealth protection.

This is a must read for everyone. Just to know the rules makes the game a little less scarey. Financial decisions made along your path of life are made with a better understanding on why you made them as such. This book gives you the opportunity of making plans before you lose control of your life. Let's face it, we all are either going to need help in our later years or not reach them at all. Either way, we need to plan so our loved ones don't have that burden.

Indeed a treacherous landscape to navigate especially with the landsharks touting their "free" help rearranging your assets to their benefit. There is a lot of sound advice here to keep you from imploding.

This was a good compilation of all the miscellaneous information available on the web, plus additional information specific to Florida. It was easy to read and well explained.
