10 Simple Ways To Avoid Financial Ruin and Thrive After Your Loved One Dies is a "wake-up" so you do not end up like I did; with nothing after my husband passed away. We all hate to talk about death but it's a fact and ignoring the legal paperwork and not reading the fine print could leave you alone, broke and penniless. This book is a reminder guide of those things you need to take care of before it's too late. Don't take for granted that everything is taken care of unless you check out all of your retirement accounts, life insurance policies, wills, beneficiary requirements and eligibility, etc.
