Description

What if the greatest gift you leave family is a simple goodbye?

Death isn’t merely sad. For millions each year, the loss of a loved one inspires months and years of conflict, confusion, legal work, and expense. And it’s getting worse. The passage of the Baby Boomers is gaining momentum, and probate courts are swamped by digital accounts, cryptocurrency, and scattered financial records.

Families are left asking: “Why is the WILL making the problems WORSE?”

Estate: Golden Rules offers a fresh approach to preparing for a better goodbye:

  1. The Golden Rule of Life: Do unto as you
  2. The Golden Rule of Estates: Die owning nothing

Embracing the Golden Rules dramatically reduces the time, money, stress, and resentment. Inside you’ll also find

  • Real family stories showing what works and what doesn't,
  • Practical, step-by-step guidance,
  • Tools to persuade loved ones to start planning now,
  • AI prompts to speed it all up, and
  • The surprising history of probate in America.

Estate: Golden Rules is the how-to guide follow-up to the award-winning novel, Estate: To My Once Darling Child. Kirkus Reviews has rated both a Get It!
