Peter Pauper PressI'm Dead, Now What? Planner - Important Information about My Belongings, Business Affairs, and Wishes

I purchased this book for my elderly parents to help them get organized and make sure I have all the info I need after they die. It is very comprehensive and includes pretty much everything I’ll need to know. My parents were initially overwhelmed, but I suggested they fill out 1-2 pages per week and that’s made it more manageable. It’s great for people who are not very tech savvy and prefer things to be more analog.

This book pretty much covers all the bases, hitting a lot of areas that aren't covered in legal documents like wills.I didn't actually write in the book; instead I entered all the info into a document I can keep in the cloud, with a pointer to that tucked into the book in out fire safe, where any other important hard-copy documents are.This was my wife's idea. She has great ideas. Now if only I can get her to fill it out too ...

This sturdy, well organized volume actually serves 2 purposes - gathering important information into one place for the folks who will need it after you’re gone - but also for you in the present. Very handy!

This book provides thoughtful, well-laid out pages and sections where you/your loved one can write down everything and anything related to your/their eventual passage from this world.Not only does it include room for all the obvious sections (ie. financial commitments; real estate; safety deposit boxes; last will & testment; trust; etc), it also includes areas where you/your loved one can put final instructions, such as how they would like their remains taken care of (funeral, burial/cremation, etc), final instructions or words, and more.It felt very thorough, and has tabs to make it easy to find different sections of the book. Of course, if it is properly/thoroughly filled out, it contains a lot of sensitive information, so once it is completed, it should be left with a trusted attorney or placed in a safety deposit box so this kind of information is not compromised.

Having had one parent pass away leaving little to no instructions or organization of documents, I can say with 100% certainty this book is a God send for those dealing with any estate.It is practical while slightly witty and, blissfully, omits the overly emotional element found in other books. From bank account numbers to addresses of safe deposit boxes to household information such as name of electricity company, account number and phone number this makes those the lives of those you leave behind tremendously easier.Whether you are 75 or 40, this is a great resource and smart idea.

I don’t necessarily enjoy writing about what to do when I’m dead, but as I get older I am reminded by my daughter, who is my executor, that it would help her to have an idea of what is important to know. This book is perfect for that. It covers everything that needs to get done after your death, and makes it much easier. Easily guides you through all of the pertinent information that will be needed. I highly recommend this book for your planning.

I love this product! I purchased one for myself then 2 more for friends.Hardcover, spiral bond, tabbed sections, easy to understand.Very thorough in what the book covers, some sections I never thought about.I bought it so my kids would have all of my info in one place because they have no clue about what to do when I die.For my friends, both of them have kids who do not want to talk about end of life and death.I am in my 60’s and 2 friends in early 70’s with simple estates.

This book is thoughtfully designed, and would be an extreme help if you were to (well I guess we all will) pass away one day. There's room for literally everything that you could want: account numbers, identifying information of all sorts, and a myriad of other personal information. However, I didn't end up filling anything out. I travel for work, and I didn't feel comfortable traveling with this kind of information that an identity thief would love to have. Yes, being at home would have helped a little, but I wouldn't want this type of information anywhere but in a safety deposit box. If you could do that, and make sure that your executor had a key too, then this is the perfect solution! Other than that, it's just too risky, for me anyway.
