Peace of Mind Planner

This Peace of Mind Planner is a completely thorough information organizer. I searched high and low to find the perfect planner and this one beat them all. It's layout, the comprehensive sections, and the book's durable construction is the central place that consolidates your personal, financial, medical, and business details. A priceless tool that will ensure your family is fully prepared and aware of important matters with peace of mind knowing affairs are being processed the way you want them.

My dad died last year and his death had opened our eyes - we needed to get our finances and assets in order. This planner is great for listing our utility, credit card, bank accounts, etc. such as account numbers, contact numbers. Everything is listed under one cover.

The Peace of Mind Planner arrived quickly in perfect condition. It's made very well. The coil binding is sturdy and the paper is heavy. The categories are well-organized, and the fields are concise and clearly worded. The lines are wide-spaced and there's plenty of room for the user to add a lot of notes. The pages turn easily and lie flat. The user can initially skip around and fill in what they know; then, the remaining blank fields will prompt the user for what to do next. That sounds simple because it is. So this book is good for anyone, but especially for seniors, for people who are not computer-literate, or for people like me who need simple, organized prompts to handle the chaos of data that accumulates in our lives. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five has only to do with the cloying, chemical odor, kind of like glue. The odor may not be strong enough to bother the average person, but I am hypersensitive to odors, and would become ill if I handled this book for more than a minute. I'm not returning it, though. I'm keeping it because it is so well-designed and is exactly what I need. What I'll do is keep it in another room and refer to it as a template for making my own end-of-life planner which I'll do by typing up and printing my info and putting it in a binder.

I love the quality and feel of Peter Pauper Press products. This is no different. Well organized, thoughtful categories. There are sections I don't need (I don't have a business, house, or kids) because they're simply not relevant to me, but I think it's good that it's comprehensive. It helps you think of what kind of information you should gather, and keeps you from forgetting things. The print is kind of large, which feels like a waste of space to me. But, I am in my 20's and I realize the main demographic that buys this product is probably 3 times my age. So even though I don't personally like that about it, I realize it is a thoughtful feature. It has tabs (that do not sick out today the page) at the beginning of each section. It starts over at the top halfway through, so when opening the book you can only see the labels for half the sections. Of course to make them all visible, the first half pages would have to be smaller and lose space. Not a huge inconvenience, just being thorough. Overall, I would recommend this product. I can't really make full use of it at this point in my life, but it is very useful for helping me think of what kind of things to get organized. My husband and I have nothing had some family members pass and their affairs were a mess. It's a big stress on the surviving family members in an already difficult time. I also work in insurance and see people all the time who have no idea about their family member's policies. Those things have made me aware and even though it will hopefully not be necessary for several more decades, it does give me some peace of mind. Btw, it says to list who you've told about it. But because of my age I wish I hadn't done that and just made sure it would be easy to find.

I was going to have a heart valve replacement. I knew it was a risky procedure. So for my piece of mind I ordered this planner to get my things organized. I had already left letters for my family members in case things did not go well. Then I got thinking, I pay all the bills in my household mostly by computer and no one knew my password. So they would not be able to get into my account to pay bills or to cancel magazine subscriptions . This planner has everything, things that I would have not thought of such as you live along with a pet. What would happen if you were gone, you would need a directive concerning your pet instead of it going to a shelter. Someone you know that would love it as much as you because they would be confused why you were not there. It has wishes for your funeral service, place to write your obituary. Let your loved ones know where your life insurance policy is filed. Has tabs such as, Personal, Medical,key contacts, Important Documents, Business,Financial,What to pay,close,cancel and many more. It has definetly given me peace of mind and showed me things I still needed to do. This book should be kept in a safe place and only let certain family members that you trust to know where it is. This is because it has a tab for all your bank information including account numbers, a page to list all your credit cards their numbers and whom they are with. So you would not want this to fall into the wrong hands. This planner will be helpful for those you leave behind. To ease their burden a little bit. I encourage you to purchase this planner. I am so grateful I did.

This is a wonderful book. It has everything in it for your family to know when you pass. It's hard cover. The pages are thick enough so the ink doesn't bleed through. Besides my will, I wanted my son to know what he needs to do and to get ahold of when it's time

I've used one for husband and self. Now purchasing for other senior friends.

What a brilliant idea. All your information in one place. Easy g go or your loved ones should the inevitable happen

Wonderful Something every one should havr

Good Book

This is a great book. Its not a will. But it has all the extra information you will need. There is a few didn't covers to this book. It lists all the things you wouldn't think about.

Peace of Mind Planner ~ this book is so helpful, and will be once we are unable to help ourselves or pass away as our family lives elsewhere so they will be able to find everything they need. Great idea and have passed this on to lots of friends.
