Summary
Lawyer and venture capitalist Scott Taylor Smith had plentiful resources, and yet after his mother died he made a series of agonizing and costly mistakes in squaring away her affairs. He could find countless books dealing with caregiving and loss, but very few that dealt with the logistics and practical tasks that follow. In the aftermath, Scott decided to write the book he wished he'd had, providing concrete guidance for making informed decisions when handling funeral arrangements, estates, probate, taxes, the deceased's online footprint, and much more.
