What the book is
More than property. A plain-language guide to closing the vulnerabilities every person, family, and business faces.
Estate planning is about far more than property and where it goes when you die. Emergency Manual®: A Bridge to Certainty™ Through Estate Planning was written to expose the vulnerabilities we all share, and to help you close those gaps with proactive, progressive steps toward a plan that helps better protect you, your family, and your business when the unavoidable and inevitable arrives. It is plain talk about the critical legal documents and decisions that make one thing clear: who can speak for you, act for you, and carry out your wishes when you cannot, both while you are living and after you are gone.
Being prepared also means sparing the people you love unnecessary burden, cost, delay, and confusion. Prepared well, these documents help keep your family out of the courthouse and out of the dark in the most uncertain and destabilizing moments of a life. I learned that the hardest way, inside my own family, and it is the reason I do this work and wrote this book. Left undone, the State of Florida decides for you. Emergency Manual®: A Bridge to Certainty™ Through Estate Planning uses plain language to demystify exactly what each document is, why it matters, and how they fit together, so you can bridge the gap from uncertainty to certainty, for yourself first, and as a gift to those who will need it most in your place.
