Mary Randolph's book has been a godsend. It is broken down into sections that address topics that you need to know to manage a loved one's estate. I am rereading the book two months after my mother's death.

I felt more comfortable going to probate and I learned about aspects that I would never have thought of (i.e. protection against credit card fraud). I think this should be mandatory reading for all family members.
