DON'T LEAVE A MESS

A Guide to Getting Your Affairs in Order (So Your Loved Ones Won't Have To)

 

What If Something Happened to You Tomorrow?

Would your loved ones know where to find your important documents? Would they understand your healthcare wishes? Could they access your digital accounts? Who would care for your pets?

Most people answer "no" to these questions—and the consequences can be devastating.


This Isn't Just Another Estate Planning Book

Don't Leave a Mess is your practical, no-nonsense guide to creating what I call your "Sophisticated Legacy"—a comprehensive approach that protects both your assets and your loved ones' emotional wellbeing.

Think of this as a roadmap to creating immediate peace of mind for yourself while ensuring clarity for those you care about most.

Inside These Pages, You'll Discover:

  • The 6 critical gaps most traditional estate plans miss (and how to close them)
  • A step-by-step system for organizing your documents, digital life, and personal wishes
  • Practical decluttering strategies that transform overwhelming possessions into meaningful keepsakes
  • Conversation starters that make difficult discussions with family members easier
  • Pet protection planning that ensures your furry family members will be cared for
  • Legacy creation techniques that preserve your values, wisdom, and stories
  • A 10-day starter plan that breaks overwhelming tasks into manageable steps

Why This Book Is Different

Most estate planning resources focus only on legal documents or financial assets. Don't Leave a Mess addresses the full spectrum of legacy planning, from the practical to the deeply meaningful.

Written by someone who's experienced the consequences of poor planning firsthand and has helped hundreds of seniors through life transitions, this book offers wisdom you won't find in typical legal guides.

From Real Readers:

"I've been putting this off for years, but Tara's approach made it manageable. I finished the 10-day starter plan and already feel a weight lifted from my shoulders." —Maria S.
