Book Cover & Preview Text
"The letters should be written on one document, one letter per page so it is easily printable. Leave space for your executor to insert a date on the letters. Your executor can then print and sign the letters and insert them in the matching envelopes you have prepared."
"If you are an organ or tissue donor, let this be known to others in advance of your leaving. Likewise, if you have made arrangements for your body to be donated to a medical school, first call the medical school and ask them what they will need to know. Also have a backup plan if the medical school rejects your body. This means making firm alternative plans with a funeral home. Provide this information and a contact number."
"You also need to deal with your digital life. Decide what to do with your computer and what to do with files and all your various accounts and services."

About the Book
Once you’ve chosen your executor to handle your matters after you pass, you assemble a box of documents and refer that person to information on the numerous tasks awaiting in his or her executor year. And then you relax.
Not so fast! There are many things you can do now, before you leave, to ease your loved one’s burden. Help Your Executor before You Leave can assist you in preparing a list of instructions to help guide your executor through the process. You can provide specific directions that fit your particular circumstances and spare your executor significant work while doing so. What’s more, you’ll have the chance to identify what is truly important in your life and make the necessary plans for your estate once you’re gone. You can feel confident that your affairs will be handled as you wish and gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have done all you can to aid the people you’ll leave behind.
This guide offers advice and step-by-step processes for those organizing their affairs near the end of their lives and readying to pass them into the hands of an executor.
