3.5 stars

A practical workbook, covering almost everything someone might need to know. It's not designed for couples, and many of the spaces are really too small for what you'd want to enter, but if you treat the book as a template and paperclip additional pages where you need them, it should do nicely. (It's recommended that you sign/initial and date extra pages and any changes you make, too.)

If it allowed for couples (after all, much of their information is likely to be the same) and gave more space for changes I'd give it 5 stars.

One word of caution: many of the references listed in the back appeared to be Canadian, but as legalities change between countries, provinces and states, you should always consult local legal authorities before making decisions about wills, power of attorney or anything similar.

A must for all to leave their loved ones to make things easier.

Now to fill it in. Lots of help in figuring out what to add. Recommend

Great advice and ideas in this book! Information I wish I had available when family members passed! Now to follow through….

THis is a very practical workbook for collecting important information to give to family members who will be left behind when one dies. I previewed this book at the library, but will be buying copies for myself and for my mother. The only negative quality this book has is the print size. Since this is largely a book that senior citizens might want, a larger font would probably be appreciated.

I am an attorney and I would recommend spending your money on a consultation with an estate attorney before you buy this book. The law in every state is different and there are a number of inaccuracies in this book.
