I’d been looking awhile and have ordered a couple of others that were disappointing for various reasons. This one is sturdy, top notch quality, and so thoroughly detailed. I really appreciate that it’s for TWO people. I’m using this for my husband and myself and also got it for my elder Aunt and Uncle that don’t have children. I thought that gathering all of this information would be overwhelming, but the process has been so manageable and has brought peace of mind. I’ve bought others for friends and family.

Many important things in life can be easily ignored until it’s too late and this book gave me peace of mind if something were to happen to one of us, that we will be set up for success. It was also fun to fill out together since it made organizing our life as a couple easy. It has helped organize important contacts, to do lists, insurance information, monthly bills, medical information, legal documents, final wishes and a section to organize estate and legal documents. The author was very thorough and seems to have thought of it all. Wish my partner and I had this book years ago.”
