All They'll Need to Know

A Resource After Tragedy

September 11, 2001 started out just like any other day.  People kissed their loved ones goodbye, fully expecting to return.  Thousands didn’t.  We mourn for those who lost their lives, but what about those who were left to deal not only with the pain of their loss, but the reality of having to go on without them?  Would your loved ones know what to do?  Would you?

When a loved one dies, the shock can be overwhelming, and yet tough financial and personal decisions demand immediate attention.   Typical concerns of surviving family members include “How will we get enough cash to live on until the estate is settled?  Are there insurance policies and bank accounts I don’t know about?   What should we do about the funeral and burial?  Whose advice can we trust?  What do we do now?”

All They'll Need to Know is a helpful book designed to guide families through the tragic loss or illness of a loved one. It is a resource handbook that, once completed, provides a comprehensive document of a person's financial records and personal requests, enabling family members to make confident decisions according to the wishes of their loved one.

All They’ll Need to Know provides forms for vital statistics, professional and military records, funeral instructions, names of those to notify, as well as financial information regarding checking and savings accounts, location and contents of safe deposit box, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds and mutual funds, savings plans, retirement programs, trust accounts, real estate, loans payable and receivable, insurance, and even information on your automobiles and credit cards.

At 32 pages, this 8 ½ by 11-inch booklet is ideal for both groups and individuals. It makes a great customer appreciation or employee gift. Emerson will even customize the cover for your company on orders of 1,000 or more. Interested individuals can view more information on their website at www.emersonpublications.com. Single copies are available online for $9.95 plus shipping and handling, and credit cards are accepted through the website.

Contact author and speaker, Joyce Pierce, for more information on how this book will guide you to pull this information together for your family, and how, as a gift, it tells your customers and employees that you really do care.
