Carol Elias Zolla is an attorney who practices only in the field of estate planning and administration. Both are certified as Specialists in Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. According to Hanks and Zolla, in the old days, only wealthy families created trusts. Those were the folks with the family attorney who knew everyone's names and could be counted on to give advice at every turn. These days, all sorts of people create trusts, many of whom don't have the luxury of a family lawyer and who don't know the first thing about what will happen when the trust actually has to be wrapped up someday. As a result, every day people find themselves stuck with a job that they don't know much about, aren't sure that they can handle, and yet, for many reasons, feel honor bound to take on. That's why they wrote The Trustee's Legal Companion. <i> Savannah Jones, sirreadalot.org </i><br>
