5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Simple Overview, April 3, 2000

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars If the death of a loved one is a new experience for you...., January 31, 2003

By A Customer

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.
