Don't Die Without Doing This!: Estate Planning, Life Insurance, Funeral Preparation, and Protecting What You Leave Behind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996748143)

When someone you love dies, grief is difficult enough. Families should not also be forced to search for documents, argue over property, wonder how the funeral will be paid for, or discover too late that no one has legal authority to act.

Don't Die Without Doing This! is a comprehensive, plain-language family preparation guide designed to help you organize the decisions that too many families postpone until a crisis occurs.

Inside, you'll learn how to understand wills, trusts, probate, powers of attorney, and health-care directives; review life insurance and prepare for funeral and final expenses; protect the family home and reduce inheritance conflict; coordinate beneficiary designations and ownership arrangements; organize financial accounts, debts, important records, and digital assets; document funeral and memorial wishes; build a secure family document system; prepare spouses, adult children, heirs, and trusted decision-makers; conduct an honest family planning conversation; and complete practical worksheets, inventories, checklists, and a 30-day preparation plan.

Written from a pastoral perspective of stewardship, responsibility, and family care, Tyrone Simpson draws attention to a reality he has witnessed repeatedly: when adequate preparation is missing, the death of a loved one can create financial pressure, legal confusion, family disagreement, and avoidable trauma on top of grief.

This large-format, full-color educational resource was created to make difficult subjects easier to understand and easier to act upon.

You love people now. Prepare for them now.
