“Many writers have provided “How To” lessons for managing the probate process.  Julie Jason goes beyond that.  This is for the reader who has studied the “How To” and then sets out to do it.  Julie addresses the problems of the complicated cases, the variations from the norm, and the difficult people.  Her message is clear, and her style permits an easy read.”   Judge James J. Lawlor, Connecticut Probate Administrator
