Review:
If you could cross an encyclopedic legal reference with the down-home philosophy and wit of a Will Rogers you might come up with a book like Fifty and Beyond. Astoundingly exhaustive in its range of subjects, Fifty provides accurate, to-the-point legal advice wryly enriched by poetry, humor, and existential musings aimed directly at the baby boomer generation. It might well have been titled "Zen and the Art of Legal Planning. -- Bifocal, Volume 20, Number 1, Charles P. Sabatino
Written by University of Arizona law professor Kenney Hegland and fellow Tucson elder law attorney (and friendly competitor) Allan Bogutz, "Fifty and Beyond" neatly avoids one of the problems so often faced in legal writing for a general audience. Although much depends on local or state laws, much is also common among different states Hegland and Bogutz have generalized where necessary, but never at the expense of useful and detailed information...Most importantly, however, "Fifty and Beyond" is fun to read. The lively sense of humor never condescends or trivializes, but always contributes to understanding of the legal issue under discussion...Hegland and Bogutz have provided truly useful and understandable information...And you can actually enjoy the process of learning about all of these issues, thanks to the lively writing, the wry sense of humor and the easy-going approach to problems of great magnitude. -- Elder Law Issues, September 27, 1999
