Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The calls come before you are ready, and the first bill arrives before the grief does.This is a short, plain-English guide to the days between a death and the beginning of the estate. It is written for the person who has been handed the job - usually while exhausted, usually without warning - and it is ordered the way the decisions actually arrive.What it covers, in sixteen brief chapters: - The first calls, and the first forty-eight hours - who to ring, in what order, and what genuinely cannot wait until morning.- Burial, cremation, or donation - what each involves, what each costs, and how to decide without being rushed.- Your rights at the funeral home - the federal Funeral Rule entitles you to an itemized price list and forbids certain bundling. Knowing that one fact changes the conversation.- Paying for it - what things actually cost, what you are not obliged to buy, and where the money can come from.- The paperwork week - death certificates and how many you need, who must be notified, and what can safely wait.- When it is not the ordinary case - and the people who prey on the newly bereaved.It ends with a day-by-day checklist and call scripts you can read down the phone.Where it stops: at the estate. Probate, letters testamentary and the final accounting are a different job and a different book, and this one hands you over by name when you reach that line. It is a concise guide - roughly 34 pages - meant to be read in one sitting and used the same day, not a comprehensive treatise, and not legal advice about your situation.…
