On 2008-10-03 Bob, wrote: This book is helpful in one way only - making the job of being an executor appear so frightful that no one in their right mind would ever accept it. Not the combined imaginations of Dickens (Bleak House) and Kafka (The Trial) could paint a picture as awful as these two authors (both lawyers - surprise!); the courts,lawyers, beneficiaries, and the IRS all wait like vultures for the executor to make any one of thousands of possible mistakes. I don´t know how many times the authors write of the ´personal liability´ awaiting the executor if this or that is or is not done in a timely manner, yet with all due deliberation. The book may,in fact, be a good one; it may take the reader like Virgil takes Dante into the bowels of a new and terrible hell. Indeed, the book´s main thesis may well be ´abandon hope, ye who enter here.´. And summed up by saying Into the Abyss.
