Absolutely in love with the idea of this book - but I feel like it was supposed to be smaller? The lines used for writing on are just way too... big? and too far apart to be comfortable for writing on. This looks like the lines to write on were meant for a children's book or something, like the graphic artist didn't know how to properly size and resize writing lines when making the graphics lol And the metal loops they used to bind the book aren't big enough, so every time you open the book and turn the pages they all get caught on each other and it's SO frustrating!Other than the fact that it's somewhat poorly made, I actually really love and appreciate the idea of this book. I feel like it's great for someone like me who has a rather obscure life and no spouse or partner who knows all of the obscure information that you need for when someone dies.If I died by accident or anything, my fmaily would have a seriously hard time figuring out all of this important information, and an even harder time trying to close out all of my accounts etc.Even worse, I feel like a huge part of who I am would be lost too - from access to my phone, to fanfics I've secretly written, to lists of birthday presents I've kept hidden away on the notes app on my iPad - all of these things are so small and may seem insignificant, but when I'm gone I would love my family to find and see all of these small pieces of me. To maybe get some closure, or have fond times remembering who I am while I was alive. And this book will be able to give me piece of mind that I wouldn't be able to have otherwise.I look forward to filling this out with the knowledge that one day my family will need this when I'm no longer here, and that even when I'm gone I'll still be able to help them ♥I don't thin this is morbid at all - I think preparing for death is a sign of love to give to whomever you leave behind, and this book may be a great idea for most people who can handle it.

Full disclosure I got this as a "gag gift" for a friend and as gag gifts go I think it's pretty good. We tease them about being "over the hill" even though they're the same age as our friends group and I know they'll get a laugh out of it when they open it.All said I still took a look through this to assess it as an document to help with death planning. The first thing I noticed is the paper in this is super thin like the paper you find in drugstore coloring books. The size of the notebook is about the same size and thickness as a mead single subject notebook but its super floppy because the paper is so thin.The notebook covers many relevant topics to help the people left behind deal with navigating your death and I think that's a good thing. Sorting someones estate is never easy and while this document states in the very beginning it's not a legal document its still better than nothing. That said, I'm not sure that this alone is going to be in someones best interest. First off you're going to record a lot of very personal information that if it fell into the wrong hands could lend itself to identity theft so you're going to want to store it in a safe or a safety deposit box not to mention if you keep it at home you'll likely want it to be kept in a fire proof box to prevent damage.Bottom Line: It's great as a gag gift and I think you could use it as a starter for death planning but its definitely not all encompassing (and it feels kinda cheap).

I recently became a young widow and I’m learning the importance of not only having ample coverages, but also having all ‘the info’ in one place. This planner is a good idea in theory but the lack of organization of the topics and material is frustrating. The purpose of this planner is to make end of life/ death care easier for our loved ones. For example: my section on important contacts has attorneys, doctors, relatives, then altering pages of relatives on one side and doctors on the other. I think I got a misprinted book.THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT:::while the section on end of life wishes is helpful; depending on the laws of your state this important may be left up to your next of kin or need to be on a state approved form. You should also express these wishes to your family/ next of kin. They need to know ahead of time so they can clearly understand what you what…

I really like this planner. I'm in my thirties, but my father recently passed and the complete lack of documentation and preparation on his behalf made things a long, drawn-out nightmare for my mother when it came to settling his estate. The planner has a place to list *all* kinds of information, some of which may or may not be pertinent to you (now or ever). At my age, I think filling out some of the pages may be unnecessary or even problematic because they are likely to change over the next (hopefully) decades (eg monthly bills, insurance information, doctor, etc) -- or maybe sections like that should just be done in pencil-- but I think that's very useful information to request for someone who is in their more senior years. I think it would be really convenient if the journal came with a QR code or app with the same information that you could fill out online/through the app and print out to put in your journal, but I won't take off a star for that. The planner is exactly as stated, as advertised, and very straightforward and convenient. The cover may be a light-hearted/dark humor more geared to a younger crowd, but the actual pages and content are in easy-to-read large font so someone of any age could easily use this/fill it out.
