Ellis Family Guides

Practical, plain-English guides for life's biggest transitions

Ellis Family Guides publishes The Peace of Mind Series by Margaret K. Ellis — books built on a simple conviction: the paperwork of a life should never become a burden on the people we love.

Our books show their work. Every figure is checked against the primary sources — the statutes themselves, not someone else's summary. The state-by-state tables cite the law behind every number, so you or your attorney can verify any claim in minutes. And because laws change, the books change too: every title is reviewed and refreshed on a regular schedule, with the newest tables always free on the companion page.
