The Last ACT: Closing the Book on Your Finances

Many people of all ages procrastinate when it comes to writing their wills, and organizing things, complicating the process of settling their estate for their children, loved ones, and beneficiaries.

The Last Act is the book that addresses this situation, as it provides easy-to-follow steps to make the process as easy and as seamless as possible.

Trust and Estate Planner Kimberley Short and Accountant Larry Short combine their years of knowledge and experience to explain how to write a will, settle an estate, create a trust, and more while helping to cut costs and unforeseen expenses along the way. Their experience working with families allows them to provide wisdom on diffusing potential conflicts.

Grieving a parent or loved one is difficult enough without the additional burden of complications that result from a lack of pre-planning.
