  • When I'm Gone

    I like that there are always explanations at the beginning of each chapter, saying what this chapter will consist of. I think this is an excellent book for anyone, but maybe more so for someone who has no significant other; and so one's executors would have no idea where to start looking for all the necessary information for a funeral, or for closing the estate, for passwords, for where I do my banking, and on and on. I have tho't for a long time I needed to write some of these things down, but didn't know quite how to begin, so when I saw this book I rather jumped for it. It has been very helpful, and I'm sure my executors and family will be saved many headaches. At times it seems a bit repetitious; that I'm writing the same things in one chapter that I already wrote once in a previous chapter, but usually it's because it's expanding on the information in a following chapter. Thank you.

  • Necessary info at your fingertips

    This is an excellent book to have for your heirs so they know everything they may need to deal with where important papers are, monthly bills, etc. There's also a place for your personal history. The only downside is the personal history is for only one of us, so I plan to put in extra sheets with my husband's personal history also.

  • When I’m Gone Book!

    Great book to give to seniors when they want to plan their passing and adult children don’t wanna hear them speak about their death. My mom had this for us and it made things so easy. No family fighting. Do mom’s wishes! We never knew she had this. ♥️

  • NEED TO KNOW JOURNAL!

    WHEN I'M GONE, by Kathleen Fraser is a "must-have" to organize all your information and thoughts to help others when you pass. Written with down-to-earth, understandable language, this book helps one face every little detail others may need to know. Much easier to deal with than a ledger. Includes so much helpful information. Highly recommended.

  • Worth having for families peach of mind

    This book is an excellent product to help anyone leave details for loved ones so they not only know your wishes but all the details for your account/affairs. This book will help ease their stress during a very difficult time. The book is detailed and has everything in sections (pets, bank, utilities, clubs, cars, insurance, etc). I highly recommend this book for anyone that is ready to start planning their affairs.

  • Helpful book

    This had some information that is routine and repetitive, but overall a good source for someone that hasn't started getting things down for family and themselves. Much better pricing to get here.

  • Great Book.

    This book has a place to write all of my final wishes down. I bought two of these books. I'm filling out the sections I want so that each of my adult kids will have one when I pass away. There's places where I can specify which one get's whatever items I want them to have. Leaves the guess work out.

  • WHEN I'M GONE, very helpful

    As I grow older, I think more and more about how my family will be able to handle my important records and documents as well as my burial after I've passed. "When I'm Gone" covers every topic that will need to be addressed. There are several suggestions in the book that I would never have considered. I'm very thankful that this book exists and have already recommended it to friends.
