Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in California: A Step-By-Step Plan to Protect Your Assets, Limit Your Taxes, and Ensure Your Wishes Are Ful

The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in California: A Step by Step Plan to Protect Your Assets, Limit Your Taxes, and Ensure Your Wishes are Fulfilled for California Residents by Linda C. Ashar and Sandy Baker is written for people who want to protect their valuables and pass on their assets to their loved ones or to charity. It describes how to find out what your estate is worth, how to get your will to be prepared, how to have the right plan, and more. The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate is a good book to keep around, when you think that you are ready to plan your estate and need some help to get through this complicated process. I rated this book a four out of five star rating because this book is very useful and helpful. I enjoyed the many ask-yourself-questions in this book because they helped me think of what I should remember. I also liked the encouragements to organize everything with lists. There is very important a simple template of a “Letter to Those you love” (appendix C 297). Anyway, I wish that this book had more examples of what happened to different people and what happened if they did or didn’t have an estate plan. It would have been great if in the very beginning instead of in the glossary, there was a clear definition of what an estate is (“an estate is…”) for people who are not familiar with it. I believe that after reading this book people will be fully informed about rules and regulations in estate planning for California residents. This book explains it in an understandable and clear way.

Many Americans want to start small businesses, but unable to do that because of lack of information. The book “Choosing the Right Legal Form of Business: The Complete Guide to Becoming a Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC, or Corporation” will help you to learn and gather all necessary laws and regulations for that process. It is a great book for explaining all the basics in starting and developing a business. This book deserves a five out of five star rating because of tons interesting features. One part that I was interested in was the structure for starting a partnership. I liked the bulletin points of what to think about in a business. I particularly enjoyed the encouragement to think of how to deal with different problems that might show up while running a small business. I also like the comparison of ideas for different business solutions. It is very important this book contains real examples and ideas from successful small business owners and legal experts. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to start a small business and does not want it to fail, like a half of the small businesses in United States. I am sure that after reading this book, anyone trying to start a small business will be successful and prosperous.
