Ronald L. Lipman, author of our Lipman's Wills & Trusts volume originally used our proprietary authoring software to automate the forms he uses in his own estate planning practice. He was so successful that we now market those forms in our Lipman's Wills & Trusts volume. He pays close attention to all Federal and state legislation and case law to make certain that these forms are always current.

Ronald L. Lipman, the Author
Ronald L Lipman has been an enthusiastic advocate of computerized efficiency ever since 1983, when he discovered the benefits of preparing college papers on a Commodore 64. His newest computer, with multiple monitors and hundreds of gigabytes on the hard drive can store hundreds of thousands of times the information as his first computer. This leap in capacity is similar to the difference between preparing documents by hand and using "Lipman's Wills and Trusts."
