This replaces the second edition of this practical book by attorney Milton Berry Scott on how to handle the affairs of someone who has recently died and how to plan for the efficient management of one's own affairs after death. It even has a Plan Ahead section that can be filled in and left with one's papers. The DVD entitled What To Do When Someone Dies (also sold by Amazon) covers much of the same material and acts as a visual reinforcement to this book.

Please remove that fourth review on our page which is shown with all the stars blanked out. It is something that I wrote, and it doesn't belong with the reader reviews.

Excellent, Simple Overview,
By AWA (Concord, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What To Do When Someone Dies: A Legal, Financial, and Practical Guide (Paperback)
This book is both simple and practical. When someone close to you dies, worrying about all the details of what to do next can be overwhelming. Many people are too distraught to deal with potentially complex legal and financial issues. This book provides an easy step-by-step approach to the whole process, and doesn't overwhelm the reader with too much detail.

This review is from: What To Do When Someone Dies: A Legal, Financial, and Practical Guide (Paperback)
Scott offers very practical, concise and organized guidebook which I wish I had from day 1...This book focuses on necessary and predictible situations: what needs to be done, when it should be done and who should do it. It defines the terminology simply. The writing is clear and comprehensible. This book is so important for someone newly experiencing the operational side of death, that I purchased multiple copies for my fellow mourners.
