What To Do When Someone Dies

Whether a loved one is ill and you fear the worst, you're dealing with a sudden and unexpected death, or you're the executor named to handle the affairs of someone who's just died, this book will help you understand what needs to be done. It can also help you get your own affairs in order, if you don't want to leave a mess for your family. Written by an attorney who specializes in trusts and estates, this simple guide shepherds you through the end-of-life process, from near death to probate. It's a compassionate insider's take on preparing for wrapping up another's life, from calling the coroner's office to making funeral arrangements and protecting assets. In the final stage of a last illness, you'll want to be sure you understand end-of-life wishes-including a living will, anatomical gifts, burial instructions and the location of important legal documents such as a will, deed or trust. You'll need to quickly get up to speed to discover online passwords, safeguard assets and notify next of kin (for the funeral and probate). There's a lot to take care of at a time when feelings of loss and emotions may run high, and we want you to be as prepared as possible with the things you can control. We cover that all here. And make it easy to understand. Real Life Legal wants you to be prepared."
