Wrapping It Up - what to do when someone dies
Has someone in your family just died?
Are you planning for the death of a friend or family member, maybe your own?
Are you looking for a book that will help you with the practical aspects of wrapping up someone’s estate?
Wrapping up the estate of a deceased person
Whether death comes quickly or can be planned for, the process of wrapping up someone’s home after they have died is something that most of us are unprepared for. All of the person’s legal and financial affairs may be in order, such as trusts, taxes, power of attorney, last wills and testaments, but what about their day to day affairs, such as their possessions, their personal affects, their pets, their clothing, their photo albums?
All of the person’s legal and financial affairs may be in order, such as trusts, taxes, (power of attorney removed) last wills and testaments, and attorneys, lawyers and accountants do what they need to do when it comes time to wind up an estate. But, what about a person’s day to day affairs, such as their possessions, their personal affects, their pets, their clothing, photo albums and their precious memorabilia?
Until now no substantial help or information has been available on how to go about handling all these areas.
Practical advice during the grieving process
Dealing with someone’s death tends to be a personal process that we work through in private.
The emotions of grief and loss are so raw and engulfing, powerful and consuming, that they can block one’s ability to think clearly and logically. People on the outside are unwilling to interrupt the mourning process for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Yet this is precisely the time when you need someone – or something – that can guide you through the practical aspects of wrapping up someone’s home.
Wrapping It Up – the Ultimate Guide
Wrapping It Up is a book that provides you with that advice and guidance as you either work through the process of sorting out someone’s estate after they died – or plan in advance for sorting out someone’s personal effects once they are gone. It is there like a friend throughout the process, one you can turn to when you need it, and which will help you deal with this difficult process.
