It is not 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. As we get older, all that needs to be done can feel alarmingly daunting.
The good news is that Sir Peter Thornton KC has rationally organised and prioritised 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 do before death, money, pensions, inheritance tax, scams, health, home, care, your rights, and what to do after the death of a loved one, the book puts all the information in one place. It is as easy to follow as a shopping list.
