Having served as a legal assistant for over 20 years, I've guided families through the "LEGAL SIDE" of the estate process, securing court approval to distribute their loved one's assets to the heirs. Yet, it wasn't until my father-in-law's passing that I truly understood the challenges these families faced on the "PRACTICAL SIDE" of the estate process.
Like many families, when my father-in-law passed, we found ourselves sifting through his house and all his possessions to decide the next steps. We needed to figure out who he owed, what he owned and where it was located. This process was lengthy, stressful and at times chaotic...particularly while attempting to work full-time and uphold our family's regular schedule. Early in this process, I resolved not to put my children through this and began compiling my information to spare them from it. As I developed and structured this system for my children, it became clear that this information was essential for others as well...thus, BEFORE YA DIE was born.

Phase 1 - was gathering insights from twenty years of experience as a legal assistant on numerous probate cases, combined with personal family experiences. These insights were published in the book and workbook titled
"Prevent the Chaos, A Plan to Make Life's Emergencies (and Your Death) Easier on You and Your Family."
Phase 2 - was collaborating with families to develop their emergency plans using my system, because "it's always easier to learn how to do something when someone teaches you, rather than having to figure it out by yourself."
Phase 3 -
