As mentioned on my Home Page, I am very thankful and honored that Legal Research for Estate Planners (LREP) has evolved to a national resource on estate planning (with reviews provided by many fellow practitioners) from its single page beginning. To allow efficient research, LREP is divided into six (6) systematic categories, descending from more general estate planning (EP) research information to more specific, practical information on estate planning. This LREP subcategory of EP TOPICS contains miscellaneous estate planning sites not subcategorized elsewhere, including miscellaneous probate links. I hope that you find this category of sites helpful.
