Synopsis

If you died tomorrow, would anyone know what to do with your stuff?

On Tuesday, Carlene Szostak had her usual morning phone call with her mom. On Wednesday, her mom was gone. There was no warning, but there was a plan. Her mom had left “The Book,” a binder spelling out what her family needed to know. Even so, there were gaps. Plan, Organize, R.I.P. fills them, so you can give your family the same gift.

Most people have a will, or at least mean to get one. But a will won’t tell your family your phone passcode, who should hear the news first, which niece was promised the quilt, or what to do with your Facebook account. Those are the details that leave loved ones scrambling, and they’re exactly what this book helps you handle.

This isn’t a legal guide. It covers everything else: the personal, practical, easily forgotten details that make the difference between a family that’s overwhelmed and one that knows exactly what you wanted.

The book follows what your family will actually face: the first 48 hours, the months of paperwork, and the things everyone forgets. Using simple worksheets, real-life stories, and a healthy dose of humor, you’ll build your own “Book,” one small step at a time, including:

• A “broadcast plan” so the right people hear the news the right way
• Heartfelt letters to your loved ones, using a proven, easy format
• Your funeral wishes, with fill-in templates for your obituary and eulogy
• One organized record of your accounts, insurance policies, credit cards, and the agencies you deal with
• A digital legacy plan for your social media, email, and passwords, including choosing a digital executor
• A checklist of what families most often miss: savings bonds, safe deposit boxes, keys, codes, and hiding places
• A list of who gets your prized possessions
• Ideas for sharing your story and your legacy while you’re still here

This revised 2026 edition includes a complete appendix of worksheets, organized to fit a simple tabbed binder you can put together for about $20.

You can’t take it with you, but you can make sure it ends up in the right place. Your legacy, your memories, and how you’re remembered should be decided by you, not left to someone who’s just trying to close an estate.

A thoughtful gift for aging parents, new retirees, and anyone who wants to spare their family the guesswork.
