Coping with Your Partner’s Death
by Geoff Billings
The death of a partner in later life entails a host of unfamiliar changes and many tasks such as dealing with probate and tax, at a time when people are perhaps least well equipped to deal with them. This book is intended for the partner left behind by the 700,000-plus people who die in the UK each year. It covers everything from how to prevent identity theft of the deceased, set up a personal filing system and write a business letter, to personal safety and how to iron on a pocket! Topics include:
- formal procedures after a death and dealing with probate
- estimating and reducing funeral costs
- money matters – dealing with banks, building societies, and other institutions
- new skills and routines – shopping, cooking, DIY
- personal relationships
- downsizing, holidays
- sample business letters
- checklists to help you get organised
- useful addresses
Geoff Billings has a background in engineering, management and consultancy. He lost his wife after a seven year illness. This is his first book.
