Customer Reviews

Helpful and Informative; lots of information in 1 place

First let me say that this book is not primarily about the grief process, or what you need to do emotionally. Although a couple of chapters at the end address these issues, it is mainly about the little details that no one else tells you need to be done. This book does have a couple of typographical errors, but the practical information provided far outweighs this trivial fact. It includes info on who to notify of death, what bills to pay, whether checks received in the deceased's name after the death have to be returned, how to get a copy of a lost insurance policy, and how to locate tax records and out of state accounts. Some of it is common sense, but after the death of a loved one, it can be really difficult to accomplish even simple tasks, let alone to determine if there is insurance coverage that the survivors don't know about. The book also provides basic info on how to conduct your own estate planning and issues to be aware of. All in all, it would be a helpful book to have if you are an Executor of a Will or a Personal Representative.
