Description

The essential guide to all you need to know and do as you get older and closer to the end of life.

It is difficult to imagine the sense of panic when faced with the sheer administrative hassle of the end of life, despite the fact that it will come to us all sooner or later. The good news is that Sir Peter Thornton has rationally organized and prioritized everything we need to know, and presents it in a simple, straightforward way that encourages us to complete all the necessary tasks.

With chapters on what to get done before death, money, pensions, inheritance tax, scams, health, home, care, your rights, and what happens after death, this puts all the information in one place, and is as easy to follow as a shopping list.
