Part-memoir, part-guidebook, this is a practical look at getting your affairs in order before the unthinkable (or inevitable) occurs.
On July 17, 2009, Chanel Reynolds's husband, José, was struck by a van, then died one week later. Just hours after the accident, Chanel realized that she was completely unprepared for what came next: What was the password to his phone? Were their wills legally binding? How much insurance did they have? Could she afford the house? And what the hell was probate anyway? Simply put, she didn't have her shit together.
The truth is, most of us don't.
Drawn rom firsthand experience, expert advice, and the unparalleled resources of her celebrated website, Get Your Shit Together, this honest, no-nonsense guide provides step-by-step practical advice to help you with:
  • Checklists: What to do before, during, and after a crisis
  • Legal documents: Create your will, living will, and power of attorney
  • Covering your ass: Get enough of the right life insurance
  • Get your money sorted: Emergency funds, savings, and budgets
  • Make a "what-if" list: Have a watertight emergency plan
  • Digital details: Track your online accounts and passwords

        Reynolds, founder of the website Get Your Shit Together (gyst.com), here helps readers devise written plans for the unexpected before it happens. Practical advice, from checklists and must-dos, supplies detailed guides for taking care of the mortgage, kids, insurance, and so on, in the event of a loved one's death or incapacitation. Reynolds uses her own response to the unexpected death of her husband as an outline to assist readers in preparing essential contact information for family members, account usernames and passwords, and other legal documents. She also addresses the grief that accompanies such loss, citing a list of things to say and not to say. VERDICT Reynolds provides not only sound counseling but a straightforward plan for when the unthinkable occurs. Sally Balch Hurme's Checklist for My Family is another excellent resource for end-of-life matters.
