“Attorney Kim Boyer’s decades of elder law, estate planning, and probate experience come together in this much-needed, easy-to-follow system. Finally, the missing link to proactive estate planning: writing down all the essential details that are required for a trusted administrator to act on your behalf. Writing a will or living trust is only the first half of an estate plan. So where are the documents, bank accounts, insurance policies, safe deposit boxes, real estate owned, income sources, list of doctors and medications, passcodes into on-line accounts, and all the other myriad of required information needed to oversee your affairs during respite care or after death? They will now be in the second half: Readily located in this easy-to-follow guidebook. No more scavenger hunts or tearing up your home while your essential information is hidden from view. Keep it peaceful! Provide this book to your appointed administrators so they can effectively meet their responsibilities to you and to your heirs.”

“I find that after the completion of their legal estate planning documents, many of my clients feel completely overwhelmed regarding the preparation of their loved ones to wind up the details of their affairs. They do not know where to begin! I often use the same “roadmap” analogy that Kim has used and that is exactly what “My Last Gift” provides. This valuable tool breaks down the tasks into manageable, focused sections and the prompts within the sections provide a proactive “homework” approach, rather than simply filling in the blanks. I am so happy Kim has written this book—it truly is a gift.”

“My Last Gift is a gift that keeps on giving to those who are navigating end-of-life decisions for themselves and as a family member or trusted friend. Kim Boyer is an expert in this field and her years of experience and compassionate advocacy shines through in the pages of this book. This book is expertly organized as a life manual providing valuable and actionable steps. Changes to Make Now and Steps for Loved Ones provides a conversation within the pages, addressing each scenario millions of families face daily and setting them up for success throughout whatever journey they may be facing. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to complete the pages, for themselves and their loved ones.”

“I’ve been working with the dying and their caregivers since 1990, and attorney Kim Boyer’s My Last Gift is one I will recommend to ALL my clients. I’ve seen many guides for getting your affairs in order, but none as concise and complete as My Last Gift. My favorite part is that, in each section, the guidance in “Things to Do Now” and “Steps for Loved Ones” will prevent heartache and chaos, if followed. This
guide will make a difficult process so much easier, for the entire family.”
