The It's All Right Here Life & Affairs Organizer Ring-bound – January 1, 2008

Don’t delay. You will refer often to this most important and useful notebook. It comes as fill-in-the-blanks; in time you will absolutely add more info and update some pages regularly. Everything changes and it is the very best way to keep it all organized on paper, which will save you if/when the power goes down. Keep a duplicate copy safe away from home, or with your Executor. One never knows when this will be needed. Equally important, gift your loved ones with this book for them to fill-in—they will be forever grateful, and if you are called upon you will have what you need to make life’s most important decisions. Take control now; save yourself grief. Gift graduating seniors and everyone you know with this essential resource because when it all comes down to it, we all need to know that it truly is All Right Here. I’ve been updating my books since 2008 and sleep peacefully.

End of Life decisions and "Dying with Dignity" are important issues for me. This is the most complete compilation of documentation you could possibly amass to make sure your loved ones have all the information they'll need should you fall gravely ill, or worse. I bought a copy for myself, and my Significant Other took it for himself....so I had to buy another because it's just that good that I didn't want to go without having the best collection of information at hand for my loved ones. Health scares happen, like they did to me in 2014. Gets you thinking...it's never too soon to make sure your wishes are known and your affairs are in order, or at least able to be tracked. I think he stopped producing them (Mr. Gavagan); I hope not. I would hate for anyone else to miss out on an absolutely incredible and essential book like this.

This binder is great. It has so much information included that I never would have thought of. It gives you tons of ideas and is very helpful in preparing for death. I know that a great many people don't want to think about death, but it happens to all and this will greatly help your family out in knowing your final wishes and help them from having to make tough choices during their time of grief. It's also great because it gives you a place to organize all your important documents (at least copies of them) and you can let your loved ones know where the originals are. There is a page for keys (very useful - you can put spare safe deposit box keys, car keys, shed keys, etc.) that comes with tags.I recommend this for everyone. Blended families may especially benefit from this.

For clients

Great and useful tool for organizing your records to help the children locate inportant documents once you are no longer here.

Excellent.....everyone should own one......well thought out....makes me feel much more comfortable as there is so much paper work with management of a home and LIFE

No one really wants to think about their death or the death of a loved one, but in today's complex world, you must. Think of all the various pieces of information that make up your life: keys, passwords, account numbers, policies, statements, valuables, etc., and try to imagine your most beloved family members trying to find and make sense of all of that days after your death.Now, add to that the stress of planning a funeral without knowing what someone's true wishes are. After someone dies is not the time to be trying to figure out if he/she wanted to be buried or cremated; it's too overwhelming.The author has provided a comprehensive resource. You might not need every page, but you will find value in the pages of your book and someday your family members will thank you for taking the time to put everything down in writing for them. I already bought copies for my family members and can't recommend this book enough.This book pulls both facets of your life -- your final wishes and the basic details of your day-to-day operations - into one, easy-to-access reference tool.

It's hard to ponder the unthinkable: a parent dying or losing a spouse. But when it happens, you don't want to spend grief-filled days tracking down papers and guessing what the person wanted with their affairs/assets. Mark Gavagan has created the perfect organizer that every household should have. It's a comprehensive collection of forms and decision points to manage one life's affairs--before or after death. It's well organized, easy to follow and asks many questions I never thought of. I picked it up and am planning to send copies to my parents, in-laws and family members. While I can't see them needing every form or section, this easy-to-read guide will get them organized and ready just in case. You may have a will and life insurance, but I suggest this tool is the next thing you should get for smart estate planning.
