Review by Library Journal Review

While no one likes to talk about death, putting one's affairs in order will make life easier for survivors. Certified business continuity consultants Walts and White have a wealth of experience devising contingency plans for private sector corporations and government agencies. Their comprehensive guide details everything from executing a will and paying for funeral expenses to dealing with taxes and closing the estate. The included appendixes, which can be easily photocopied, allow readers to fill in the blanks on such basics as immediate family information, location of important documents, and sample obituaries. VERDICT Every person should own a copy and complete the paperwork offered in this straightforward guide to the process of preparing for the "inevitable." © Copyright 2016.
