5.0 out of 5 stars Get organized, and show your family that you really care, May 10, 2005
By 
MICHAEL L. OBRIEN (Greater Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: If Something Happens to Me (Paperback)
I handle my family's finances. After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, this book helped settle my nerves. I CAN leave behind an organized, detailed and easy-to-navigate financial roadmap for my wife -- if something happens to me...

This detailed workbook allows you to not only organize your financial, legal and insurance information, but also gives step-by-step guidance as to what families need to do after losing a loved one.

Financial planner and co-author Joe Hearn describes it this way: "The idea for the book originated with a folder that I had prepared for my wife shortly after we were married. Because I handled our finances, I realized that if something ever happened to me, she would have a tough time wading through everything. As much as possible, I wanted our legal and financial affairs to be on autopilot so that she would not be forced to make critical decisions at a time when she was still dealing with the grief of loss."

MJ "Marty" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If Something Happens to Me (Paperback)
This is a fantastic workbook for those who have children or parents that are retired. My husband and I have looked all over for years for this type of help. This book has helped us organize all our financial and legal affairs for our children in case something were to happen to us. This book is a huge time saver and has helped us organize all of our information!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, July 15, 2005
This review is from: If Something Happens to Me (Paperback)
I live in Florida, and last year's hurricane season was unbelievably stressful. While I was fortunately OK, some of my fellow Floridians saw their lives turned upside down overnight. This has made me much more aware of the need to be prepared if something happens.

I interviewed Joe on my radio show EverydayWealth Radio, and had the opportunity to review his book as well. In summary, it's an excellent guide for all of us -- single, married, kids or without -- to get our financial matters in order just in case. Something like a major storm, fire etc. could make this book invaluable for finding all your information quickly.

The next hurricane season is upon us, and I am using If Something Happens to Me as part of my preparations. Just in case!
