Avoid Probate Hell,
Intestate Confusion & Financial Hardship
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probate proceedings and procedures cost TIME and MONEY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s essential to prepare your end-of-life decisions before it's too late. Save your family and loved ones from hardship and headache and give them space to grieve. Peace of mind can be achieved when you are prepared.
Your end-of-life wishes should be in writing to be honored and executed and have your property distributed smoothly and quickly to your beneficiaries. Otherwise, strangers and state law will make decisions for you and about you.
This workbook can make end-of-life conversations easier to have. It will facilitate planning for management of your financial affairs and health care with three essential documents:
​
Last Will and Testament
Advanced Healthcare Directive
Financial Power of Attorney
About the Author
On his 30th birthday, Peter could not count on both hands how many funerals he had attended for friends lost in a world full of modern calamities.
​
Soon after his 40th birthday, that same reality hit close to home with the loss of immediate family members. For decades, Peter observed good people battling enormous grief without basic knowledge of essential paperwork who struggled to manage challenging issues around death. He earned a Paralegal Certification with the purpose of writing this informative workbook to help others.
​
Peter focuses on evolving as an educator and sharing vital information. He is an informed and thoughtful speaker on end-of-life issues and the choices everyone must make before and when the inevitable occurs. He is passionate about helping people navigate the real and difficult journey.

Reviews
"This book is an excellent resource, highly recommended. In his supremely clear and user-friendly guide for attending to end-of-life issues, Peter manages to simultaneously demystify death and sanctify life. My family and I are using this workbook to make sure that we do not burden the ones we love with the details so that they can more fully show up for the deeper dimensions of our loss."
— Mirabai Starr, Author & Spiritual Guru
"A Baby Boomer's godsend! The “not quite irreverent” take on dealing with the challenges we all face at one point or another, either for ourselves or our loved ones, this book has answers . . . even questions you didn’t know you had!"

"This is a straight forward, simple yet comprehensive guide that deals with end-of-life issues in a clear and understandable way. Written by an experienced paralegal, the topics include power of attorney for healthcare, living wills, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders, death certificate copies, and even advice for pet owners to make sure their four-legged companions are taken care of after they pass away. All the bases are covered! With a list of resources, suggested readings, estate planning forms (like last will and testament and living will, among others) and even some fun facts about death, the book a must read for everyone."
