The death of a partner in later life entails a host of unfamiliar changes and many tasks such as dealing with probate and tax, at a time when people are perhaps least well equipped to deal with them.
This book is intended for the partner left behind by the 700,000-plus people who die in the UK each year. It covers everything from how to prevent identity theft of the deceased, set up a personal filing system and write a business letter, to personal safety and how to iron on a pocket!
Topics include:
formal procedures after a death and dealing with probate
estimating and reducing funeral costs
money matters - dealing with banks, building societies, and other institutions
new skills and routines - shopping, cooking, DIY
personal relationships
downsizing, holidays
sample business letters
