NEW EDITION FOR 2025! Updates and expands the previous edition, and is keyed to the current state study guide (2025). The Louisiana Notary Public exam is based on a 737-page study guide, Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice. But the official book is famously difficult to read and organized in a complex way. Readers often need help including classes and Facebook groups -- just to unwind it. This book is, at last, directly aimed at simplifying and outlining the study guide itself. Such a resource offers a better chance of passing the notoriously challenging notary exam.Law school classes and bar exam prep have long given law students the advantage of complete outlines, nutshells, and bar review materials authored by experts in their subjects. It's time for this concept to be used for notary prep as well. Applying the tried-and-true outlining format successfully employed for bar review, experienced lawyer-notary Michele Childress offers this resource for aspiring Louisiana notaries -- whether they're prepping by self-study or as part of organized coursework.A new addition -- now in its fourth edition -- to the Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books, this book joins the Sidepiece and Sample Questions texts as affordable guidance in the journey to becoming a commissioned notary in our state. In this quality-formatted ebook edition, the outline appears arranged and clear on your Kindle or app, and Alexa can read it to you.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lawyer and notary public for the state of Louisiana, Michele Childress is a graduate of Loyola University and its law school. She also co-teaches internet seminars on passing the Louisiana notary exam, as well as practice after, and she co-authored Louisiana Notary and Legal Forms with Explanations 2024. Read more

Have you ever considered the advantages of creating a living trust? Avoiding probate through the use of living trusts is a well-known solution, but author Evan H. Farr takes this issue one step further. In Protecting Your Assets from Probate and Long-Term Care, Farr explains the need to consider both probate and the expenses of long-term care when you create a living trust. A revocable living trust, the main tool used for protecting your assets from probate, does not protect assets from the catastrophic expenses of long-term care. A very useful and popular estate planning tool, revocable living trusts are recommended by tens of thousands of attorneys across the United States and are used as the central estate planning document by millions of Americans. However, what most Americans don’t realize is that assets in such a trust are not protected from lawsuits or from the limitless expenses associated with nursing homes or long-term care. In order to help readers protect themselves from both probate and long-term care, Farr delves into the many details you should know when creating a living trust. He also outlines his Living Trust Plus™ Asset Protection Trust, which is the only type of self-created asset protection trust that allows you to avoid probate and retain an interest in the trust while also protecting the assets from being counted by state Medicaid agencies. He details the process of avoiding probate and securing assets, including: Joint ownership problems Special needs planning How to pay for the nursing home Why Medicaid planning is ethical The ten most common Medicaid myths Finding the right lawyerProtecting Your Assets from Probate and Long-Term Care will help to ensure your family does not have to reap the consequences (and expenses) of improperly creating a living trust.
