Death's Red Tape: Your Guide for Navigating Legal, Financial, and Personal Transitions When

By Mark Colgan

A week before 9/11, Mark Colgan lost his wife to heart disease. In the span of a single day, he went from waking up next to her to planning her burial. Even for a Certified Financial Planner™, the mountain of financial and legal details that spanned the next year of his life was overwhelming.

Whether you're a surviving spouse, partner, child, or friend, Death's Red Tape guides you gently through the financial and administrative process following the death of a loved one.

The book is organized chronologically in small, clear sections so you can face each task one step at a time, with checklists to keep things simple. It even includes a glossary of technical terms along with valuable websites and resources you'll need along the way.

In this difficult time, a book can't erase all the challenges of your loss, but it can make the practical aspects of navigating that loss a little easier.
