Constance Mungall believes in doing things herself and encourages others to do the same. When her father died in 1973, she probated his estate and decided to help others by writing this book. Since then, she has revised it many times to keep in touch with changes in the regulations. Recently, she had a chance to follow her own instructions when she probated her motherâÂ?Â?s will. Her experiences in dealing with that more complicated estate are incorporated into this book.
