A Vital Guide to the Changing Legal Landscape
Rating: 
Attorney Burda has done the impossible, writing a "black-letter law" treatise in an easy-to-read and enjoyable style.
Practitioners will find it informative for its nuts-and-bolts practice tips, while members of the public will take away a 'how-to' roadmap (with forms!) when planning to protect themselves and their families.
I recommend this book without reservations -- not only for attorneys practicing in this field, but for smart individuals across the nation who attempt to balance the scales of justice while usually suffering inequitable treatment under the laws.
Good For Students
Rating:
Ms. Burda's book provides guidance and training for the law student seeking to learn about a cutting edge nuance of estate-planning. With crystal clear language and outstanding organization, a law student finds him/herself wishing his/her law school professors followed Ms. Burda's instructional paradigm. This book is a must read for anyone seeking a career helping others plan for retirement.
Very insightful, very well-written
Rating:
This book is an excellent resource for attorneys as well as non-legally educated persons. The book covers all issues that a person would need to take into consideration in creating an estate/living plan for a same-sex couple.
Absolutely Essential
Rating:
This book is absolutely essential for any attorneys practicing in this field. Ms. Burda has put together not only the laws and state of affairs across the country but she has also included the much needed forms in order to accomplish the task. After all of our years in law school, only Ms. Burda has shown us exactly what these documents are supposed to look like!

The Publishers Marketing Association just awarded this book a Benjamin Franklin Award at the June 2005 award ceremony in New York City. This book and the author Joan Burda, are well deserving of this prestigious award.
This is an excellent book for both lawyers and their clients.
