Nobody prepares to be an executor. One day someone you love is alive. The next, you are the person in charge - responsible for a legal process you have never navigated, under a grief you did not expect to feel quite like this, with a family that is watching and waiting and grieving in its own complicated ways.
When Someone Dies was written for exactly that moment.
Janet Christian spent twenty-eight years as a paralegal at an estate planning firm, working alongside attorneys on wills, trusts, and probate. She watched hundreds of families walk through the door after a death. She learned where things break down - the document crises, the overlooked accounts, the family fractures that start over a piece of furniture and end in attorneys' offices - and exactly what makes the difference between a settlement that takes nine months and one that takes three years. She also lost her own mother unexpectedly and did the job herself. Both of those experiences are in this book.
This is not a legal reference manual. The legal reference manuals exist and they are nearly useless to the person who needs to know what to do in the next seventy-two hours. This is a plain-language, practical guide to a job that arrives without warning, requires decisions that cannot wait, and is made harder by the fact that the person doing it is also grieving.
The book covers the full scope of estate administration: what to do immediately after a death, how to navigate probate with or without a will, how to locate assets the deceased never mentioned, how to handle digital accounts and cryptocurrency, how to manage the family dynamics that destroy a significant number of estates before they close, when professional legal help is genuinely necessary, and how to close the estate correctly when the work is finally done. Separate chapters address the situations that fall through the cracks of most executor guides - disabled beneficiaries, military service, co-executor conflicts, estates with no will, and the specific grief that arrives after the paperwork ends.
It is written for the adult child who just lost a parent, the surviving spouse facing financial institutions alone for the first time, the sibling who said yes without fully understanding what yes meant, and the person reading at midnight trying to figure out what comes next. It is also written for the person who picks it up before anyone has died - the one who wants to understand the role before it lands on them.
The job nobody applied for still has to be done. This book is how to do it.
Part of the HELP!!! Series - practical guides for people who need answers now.
