Executor First 90 Days: Your Week-by-Week Plan When You're Grieving and Don't Know Where to Start

When someone dies and names you executor, the world expects you to know what to do next. Most people don't. Most people are grieving, overwhelmed, and terrified of making a costly mistake. Executor First 90 Days is the practical week-by-week workbook that should have come with the job. Written in plain English, not legal language, this guide walks you through every stage of estate administration from Week 1 through Week 12. Each week gives you a clear focus, a prioritized task list, fill-in tracking pages, ready-to-use phone scripts, and reality checks that remind you: you are not behind, you are not failing, you are doing this correctly. Inside you will find: what to do in the first 48 hours, how to secure property and gather documents, when to open an estate bank account, how to notify creditors and government agencies, how to handle probate, insurance claims, taxes, and final asset distribution and what can safely wait. Whether you are managing a simple estate or a complicated one, whether you have an attorney or you are doing this alone, this guide keeps you organized, informed, and moving in the right order. You do not have to carry the whole estate in your head. This guide carries it with you.
