Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The newly released 3rd edition of Before It's Too Late - Don't Leave Your Loved Ones Unprepared is a valuable workbook and a lot more. You will find it to be the most complete estate and funeral-planning guide available. Once completed, it becomes an indispensable tool as your loved ones deal with the big decisions and small details concerning your estate. Most of the important information about your personal affairs is kept in your head. This easy-to-fill-out workbook takes you through a simple step by step process of writing down your information covering a wide range of personal, financial and final arrangement details.
You need this book no matter what your age or stage in life such as:
*A widow or widower
*Aging parent
*Single
*Married
*Parents with young children
*An adult with an aging parent
*Young adult children
*The executor of your estate
What if you fall ill and are temporarily unable to make decisions? How will your family manage your day to day business until you are back on your feet? Or, should you pass away, how will your family know about all of your personal affairs? While it is difficult to face your mortality, pre-planning is a gift of love.

Before It s Too Late is divided into three sections:
*Personal Information
*Financial Information
*Funeral Planning

*Personal Information
Important Names and Phone Numbers, Document Locations, and more


*Financial Information
Millions of dollars in life insurance policies, bank accounts and safe deposit boxes go unclaimed because heirs are unaware that those assets exist. Your executor can rely on this workbook to avoid leaving assets unclaimed. Having easy access to this information will also reduce your executor's or lawyer's fees when settling your estate.


*Funeral Planning
Confronting death is not easy. Under the stress of making difficult choices in an emotional situation, your family may disagree or feel guilty about making wrong last-minute decisions. Before It's Too Late creates a complete funeral plan by recording all of your final wishes. Your family will have peace of mind knowing that they are making the right decisions, strengthening their ability to cope with your death.


There are lots of reasons why you may have put off discussing the details of your funeral with the people closest to you. For example:
As a son or daughter of aging parents, you may feel awkward about asking about funeral plans.
You want to talk to your family but there never seems like a good time.
You know what you want but don't feel comfortable discussing your funeral plans.
You want to share your funeral plans, but your family doesn't want to talk about your death with you.
As a single parent, you think your children are too young to deal with the thought of your death.


No one knows the future, so it is never too soon to write your funeral wishes down. There aren't may things that you can do for your family that will help so much and cost so little. Single, married, divorced, or widowed, no matter what your age or situation, don't leave your loved ones unprepared.





Rating: - Use this workbook and have peace of mind!
We are retired and for years have been keeping a loose-leaf notebook of instructions for our adult children to help them deal with our estate. One quick look through Before it's Too Late showed us there were a number of important things we'd neglected to address. The book is extremely well organized, thorough and easy to fill out. From the location of important papers and keys to funeral arrangements and family pets, the workbook is comprehensive. We are buying copies for our siblings as well ... Read More

Rating: - Wish we had this several years ago
During the past few years, my wife and I lost our parents, 3 by death and 1 by alzheimer's disease. How we wish we would have had a resource such as this at that time. We did not realize the amount of time it would take us to locate and sort all the documents related to our parents lives. We will not leave our children in the same predicament. We consider ourselves well organized, but this book showed us that we really are not. With this book, it took us only a few hours during the past few weeks ... Read More

Rating: - Before its too late!!
This is a fantastic book. Used it when my mother-in-law passed away, and we found out some amazing info about my father-in-law. We recently reviewed what was done in 2000 and revised the info. I advise anyone starting out to get one you can always add to it as time goes on. It's amazing at what was included in the book. I don't think they left anything out. It's a very handy guide if you want fast access.

It is everything I could possible want to inform my family and friends of my intentions upon my death. I also ordered one for my son and daughter, and my two sisters and brother. They were equally impressed with the product.
