Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The book deliberately sets out to bridge the gap between the people using the Court and the professionals who advise them so that all involved can make fully informed decisions about money and welfare at what can be a stressful time. Using plain English, it demystifies the law, language and procedure and is enhanced by a raft of invaluable flowcharts, tables and model documents that help put the guidance into practice. While accessible to the non-lawyer the book also provides the professional legal adviser with a quick, clear first point of reference
