Few people are really aware of what needs to be done at difficult times like this. The book is quite comprehensive, dealing with a wide range of issues that need to be done quickly versus those taking months. Its clear when you need to get professional advice, and when not.
Strongly recommended.

When you lose a loved one, it is inevitable you experience an overwhelming number of emotions all of which conspire to throw you into turmoil when it comes to focusing on "sorting things out". This book led me through the stages from start to finish. Some sections had to be read and reread before I fully took on board the facts, but the flow charts and examples proved to be invaluable. I would have been lost without this Which? book.
It does what it says on the cover. November 19, 2009

I found this book mildly useful, yet very useful.
The first part of the book takes you through the immediate formalities of death - collecting hospital / doctors forms, registering the death and the like. I had a fair idea of what to do, and by the time the book arrived, had completed most of the tasks. It was reassuring to note that I'd done everything correctly.
The second half was invaluable. OK, I could probably work out a value, as it saved the cost of employing a bank or solicitor to handle the probate / executorship. It explained in simple steps how to handle the finances of someone who has died, and also told one when legal advice might be needed. In my case, I found it very simple following the instructions and saved a lot of money...

This has been a really useful book for a difficult situation. i would recommend it. A new edition is due out soon to reflect changes in law regarding inheritance tax but the major part of the book is accurate.

Succinctly tells you the basic of what you need to know and do. Definitely worth reading to avoid problems and delays.
