Cinderella's Trust Fund: serious legal information powered by nursery rhymes and fairy tales

We talk about pretty serious topics here most days, but it doesn't all have to be gloomy. If you like your wills and estates information with a bit of light-heartedness, take a look at my book called "Cinderella's Trust Fund". It contains tons of information about estate planning, trusts, joint property, choosing an executor, powers of attorney, blended families, and much more. The fun part is that interspersed with the text are nursery rhymes and fairy tales that illustrate the points being made. From Baa Baa Intestate Sheep to Beauty and the Bequest, the stories you know and love are re-told from an estate lawyer's point of view. Here's an example:

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had several children, but she knew what to do.
She couldn’t put all of them on the title,
Since costs were important but harmony was vital.
“I’ll treat you all fairly in my will,” she said,
“Sell my house and split the funds after I’m dead.”

and here's another:

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
 And a merry old soul was he;
 He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
 And he called for his lawyers three.

 Every lawyer had a quill,
 And a parchment to write on, had he;
 Oh there's none so smart, to get a start
 Like King Cole and his lawyers three.

He talked of wills and heirs for hours,
And a wonderful talk had he,
They made a will; it’s valid still
For Cole and his children three.

Some of the tales used in the book are Cinderella, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Little Red Riding Hood, Humpty Dumpty, Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, The Emperor's New Clothes, Old King Cole, The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Beauty and the Beast, Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, and London Bridge is Falling Down.
