Jack Tatar, Publisher of People Tested Publications says, "I'm proud to have our latest book authored by Peggy R. Hoyt, who is not only a leading practicing estate planning attorney and author of 11 books on the topic, but has been a leading voice in addressing the current challenges of estate planning. Her approach to estate planning is innovative and focused on the individual and their family, rather than on the paperwork involved.
