You can't take it with you, but you can ensure that what you leave behind has value and meaning.
Whether you want the fruits of your life's work to benefit your family, the environment, science, human rights, the arts, your church, or another cause dear to you, one thing is certain: It won't happen unless you plan. What to Do with Everything You Own to Leave the Legacy You Want is a step-by-step, DIY guide to turning your money and "stuff" into something meaningful that will outlast you-whether you are in the prime of life or your later years, single or partnered, have kids or not, are well-off or of modest means. With her trademark practical wisdom, downsizing expert Marni Jameson offers plenty of comfort (and even some laughs) as she guides you through the following:
- Identifying whom you want to benefit from your legacy
- Navigating wills, trusts, and other paths to your goals
- Heading off potential family conflicts
