If your loved dies suddenly or you know its coming this is the essential book to read about handing the situation.

A compact guide on what to do when and how. It brings together in one easy to read and understand format the information you will need immediately after a death and later on.

This is a book to have on hand as you would have a dictionary.

When my mother died I found it was dificult to get the information I needed. Laywers can be very expensive. If I had this book it would have saved my time and money.

How would you hendle the death of a loved one? For me, until I read this book, I wouldn't have had a clue! I think this book makes sense for anyone who is going through the financial transition that death brings to survivors but also to anyone who wants to be prepared for the event. Think about it...we will all eventually have to face this, why not be prepared? This book covers more details than I would have thought of, and I work in the financial industry. I think a major plus to this book is that is gives definitions, addresses, phone numbers, web addresses, etc... of all the things and places you will need to know about. I would highly recommed this publication.

Although the book origionally seemed small for the price I discovered that it had a lot of information. It covered everything from how to handle my husband's car lease to estate processing and identity theft. It was also well written and had a easy to follow format.

When my dear husband Larry died tragically in June 2008 my whole world turned upside down, emotionally, physically,financially,and legally. Long story short my brother found this book and it has been a Godsend.It made me take a deep breath and slow down my racing heart.I found hope and information I needed so desparately to organize my life.When you are so overwhelmed with grief you tend to rush around and do things too quickly,or hibernate and do nothing at all. This book is an easy read,to the point,and has many helpful resources. Mark Colgan is wise and intuitive and his love and compassion to help others comes through in his book.This book should be on your Holiday wish and giving list!

I thank God for this book. It's practical and hands-on. It's a must-have for anyone who is ignorant of funeral planning, personal finances and wills. Most of us are in at least one of these groups. I was in two before I read this book.

Thank you for this very informative book. With the sudden passing of my husband at an early age this book has been very helpful for me and has given me a little peace of mind with everything that needs to done when a spouse dies. I will be purchasing more for other family members who should just have the book on hand because I had to start from scratch and didn't know anything.

Mr. Colgan's book is essential in helping to plan your legacy. Should be required right along with wills, power-of-attorneys and health care proxies.

As a financial planner, I am always looking for tools to help my clients thru life changing times. Mark Colgan has put together this wonderful book to walk people thru a time in your life when most people have no idea what to do. This book has provided my friends and clients with peace and understanding during the most difficult times before and after a loved one has passed away. Praise God for Mark and his wonderful work!
