Editorial Review:

An ever increasing number of Americans are convinced that our country is no longer the land of safety or opportunity when it comes to their money and investments. These people recommend transferring your money to offshore tax havens in such countries as Dubai, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Panama. In fact, it has recently been estimated that nearly 60 percent of the world s money is located in offshore accounts. Legal Off Shore Tax Havens will show you how to protect your money and remain legal while doing so. Off shore tax havens are sovereign nations that have laws in place that protect people s financial privacy, assets, and cash. In this new, exhaustively researched book, you will find out how to take advantage of this system. You will learn how the system works, how to develop business opportunities, how to avoid excessive taxation and regulation, how to bank and invest off shore, how to find the tax haven that is right for you, and how to avoid scams. In addition, you will learn about the safest, most private nations, the best off shore banks and tax havens, what is and what is not legal, the best haven for your specific purposes, mistakes to avoid, legal issues, and basic off shore entities. You will also learn how sophisticated tax avoiders use countries such as Ireland, Austria, and the Netherlands to avoid suspicion; how to use residential tax havens, including Argentina and Costa Rica; and how to use Greece, the Phillipines, and Jordan as completely tax-free havens. Legal Off Shore Tax Havens will provide you with the strategies, knowledge, and contacts you need to avoid expensive mistakes and make the most of your offshore pursuits. This book is for those who are weary of paying high taxes and who are suspicious of the government. Whether you are seeking to move your business s money or your own personal finance, this book will provide you with all the necessary information to make a smooth, legal transition.

Good book for mineral owners as well as students 4 out of 5 stars.
15 of 16 people found this review helpful.

The third edition of this book was very helpful, and also included more recent case law cites than the second edition. I would assume this it true with the fourth as well (and there have been quite a few post 1995 court cases affecting royalty payments among other things). John Lowe is a well-respected professor of oil and gas law and has written many papers as well as several books on the subject.I find his writing style easy to understand, even for a layman like myself.I also found it to be much more than a "nutshell" approach in that the explanations of complicated ideas are fairly complete in most cases. He even touches on the structure and content of oil and gas sales contracts near the end of the book, which I found helpful as well.

Editorial Review:

Reliable source on oil and gas law. This authoritative coverage focuses on the legal rules that govern the development of privately owned mineral rights, which often also apply to governmentally owned resources. Text covers topics such as the nature, protection, and conveying of oil and gas rights, leasing, and taxation.

Happy User 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The Crunch Time series is great for the Law School Exams-- the "cheater" charts are especially helpful. I'm glad that I held on to the
Crim Pro and Evidence books. In my work as a JAG attorney, I have found that they are perfect memory joggers to help with my part-time prosecution duties.

useful the night before your final 3 out of 5 stars.

It is a very thorough commercial outline. However, there are many details that are being left out. In brief, it is not a perfect substitute for actual textbooks.

This is a Scam 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Don't buy anything from Lawgame. I purchased a lawschool book from them and they claimed to have sent but, conveniently, couldn't provide me with ANY sort of tracking data. The employee at Lawgame that I was corresponding with in an attempt to rectify this problem was also very short and impolite to me when I requested this information. Find somewhere else to buy your books.

Ideal for reviewing legal topics point-by-point, these comprehensive Law in a Flash Card Sets contain succinct questions and provide precise answers on the flip side. Perfect for a portable, on-the-go review.

This is a must read for those of you who have or plan to have over $5 Million in Net worth. If you want to fulfill your responsibility to your family and give them the tools necessary to carry on your legacy, this is a great starting point.

Clear, concise and THOROUGH 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is the BEST book I have found (after looking a long time) to instruct those who understand AND believe in themselves in how to perpetuate their ideals.

While I may not fully share the author's bias (clearly described in an opening chapter), I emphatically endorse his diagram for perpetuation. This book is a treasure map for the future.

Gotta run.....hunting for treasure, y'know....

Editorial Review:

No other book covers living trusts better -- or more simply -- than this bestselling book.

Death may be inevitable, but probate doesn't have to be. By creating a living trust, your property will bypass lengthy and expensive probate proceedings and go directly to the people you've designated, quickly and easily.

Make Your Own Living Trust explains how to create a living trust, transfer property to the trust and amend or revoke the trust at any time. Specifically, it covers how to:

create various living trusts, including an AB trust (also known as a "marital trust" or "bypass trust")

transfer assets to your trust, including real estate, stocks and bonds, jewelry, art or a small business

name beneficiaries for all trust property

sign your document and make it legal

appoint someone to manage property left to minors or young adults

provide for trust property management if you become incapacitated

retain absolute control over trust property while you live

Make Your Own Living Trust includes all the forms you need -- as tear-outs and on CD-ROM -- to create your own trust, plus step-by-step instructions for filling them out.

Completely updated and revised, the 8th edition covers the latest laws and information about federal and state estate taxes.

Good in all states except Louisiana.

One of the weaker E&E titles 2 out of 5 stars.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I normally love E&E. (The civil procedure E&E is wonderful). This one highly lacks.

The explanations of the concepts (before the examples) are poor. They barely skim the surface of certain concepts and as a result, I kept having to use another supplements to 'supplement' the explanations of this supplement. The explanations do not not give you enough black letter law.

The strength in this title - UPC intestate distribution discussion and examples. That's about it.

Excellent reference tool 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent reference tool, especially for estate and trust administration paralegals. It is good for those with a low to intermediate knowledge base of the subjects.

Editorial Review:

What the IRS doesn’t tell us, Ernst & Young does.Year after year, The Ernst & Young Tax Guide hits national best-seller lists and garners rave reviews. The most user-friendly, most current guide available to preparing your own tax return, this essential resource contains all the information readers need to save on their taxes. The accessible format walks you step-by-step through the daunting filing process, with sample tax forms and schedules demonstrating how to fill out a tax return line by line. As the only guide that provides complete coverage of the new tax law provisions, it’s no wonder The New York Times praises it as “the top choice among popular tax books.” The Ernst & Young Tax Guide is really two books in one. The first is the official IRS tax guide, Your Federal Income Tax, updated by E&Y to take into account developments in 2007. The second book is the Ernst & Young guide offering comments, explanations, and tax-saving tips on what the IRS tells us-and doesn’t tell us. These two books have been combined in one easy-to-read volume to provide taxpayers with the most well-rounded and comprehensive tax guide on the market.
