Patricia M. Annino - Women & Money

Patricia M. Annino chairs Prince, Lobel, Glovsky & Tye’s Estate Planning and Tax Group. She is a nationally recognized authority on estate planning and taxation, with 20 years’ experience serving the estate planning needs of families, individuals, and owners of closely held businesses. A member of the firm’s Media and Intellectual Property Group, she represents authors, artists, and musicians in estate planning and probate matters.

She is the author of two widely utilized professional texts: Estate Planning in Massachusetts, part of West Publishing Company’s Massachusetts Practice Series; Taxwise Planning for Aging, Ill, or Incapacitated Clients, published by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; author of The Federal Gift Tax, A Practical Guide to Estate Planning in Massachusetts published by MCLE and author of the published book, Women & Money, A Practical Guide to Estate Planning.

Review: Annino's book provides the basic legal knowledge women need to deal with problems such as caring for elderly parents or young children, preparing for death or disability of self or spouse, whether to buy insurance, etc. However, there is no dry legalese: the advice is straightforward and abundantly illustrated with interesting stories from her law practice. In chapters aimed at women in various stages (divorcing, single, married, etc.) Annino seems to be having a personal conversation directly with the reader, offering lots of practical advice. Even has a fashionably pretty cover! Ladies: start your studies with this book.
