Comprehensive, almost overwhelming book to help you organize your affairs in preparation for your eventual demise.

Two of the authors are co-founders of Everplans, a digital vault for all the information your family will need after your death, but there is little shilling for their company. Instead, this book is more of a DYI guide to what you should collect, share, clarify, reduce, and convey, and ideas for how to do so.

The book goes far beyond the usual advice on wills, trusts, living wills, and DNRs. It includes helpful information on managing and transferring your digital passwords and presence; tips for pruning your material possessions to lighten the load on your heirs; guidance for leaving effective departing words; and ways to elicit information from your loved ones about their planning.

The time estimates for each task seemed significantly underestimated, and it would have been more centering for me if the checklist at the back of the book had been at the front. But I learned a great deal from this book and think it would be helpful for people at any stage of life. Even if you're not trying to leave a good last impression, it is always calming and empowering to have your financial and personal affairs in order.

Recommended.
