—Victoria L. Collier, certified elder law attorney, fellow of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys
“A well-considered estate plan is truly a gift to your loved ones. My Last Gift outlines all of the necessary decisions and details in an easily accessible format that is empowering to all parties. Every elder law attorney wishes that their clients had ongoing conversations with their family and loved ones about their health, wealth, and time. This is a great tool to facilitate those discussions and record those decisions.”
—Julieanne E. Steinbacher, Esq., certified elder law attorney, LLM, and president of Estate & Long-Term Care Planning, Inc.
“I’ve been working with the dying and their caregivers since 1990, and attorney Kim Boyer’s My Last Gift is a book I will recommend to ALL my clients. I’ve seen many guides for getting your affairs in order, but none as concise and complete as My Last Gift. My favorite part is that the guidance in ‘Changes to Make Now’ and ‘Steps for Loved Ones’ will prevent heartache and chaos if followed. This guide will make a difficult process so much easier for the entire family.”
—Melody LeBaron, death and grief coach and owner of Transforming Space, Self, Loss
“My Last Gift is a gift that keeps on giving to those who are navigating end-of-life decisions for themselves. Kim Boyer is an expert in this field, and her years of experience and compassionate advocacy shine through in the pages of this book. It is expertly organized as a life manual providing valuable and actionable steps. ‘Changes to Make Now’ and ‘Steps for Loved Ones’ provide a conversation within the pages, addressing each scenario millions of families face daily and setting them up for success throughout whatever journey they may be facing. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to complete the pages, for themselves and their loved ones.”
—Susan M. Hoy, National Certified Guardian and founder and CEO of Nevada Guardian Services, LLC
“I find that after the completion of their legal estate planning documents, many of my clients feel completely overwhelmed regarding the preparation of their loved ones to wind up the details of their affairs. They do not know where to begin! This valuable tool breaks down the tasks into manageable, focused sections and the prompts within the sections provide a proactive ‘homework’ approach, rather than simply filling in the blanks. I am so happy Kim Boyer has written this book—it truly is a gift.”
—Carol A. Kingman, Esq., elder law attorney at Southern Nevada Senior Law Program
“Kim Boyer’s decades of elder law, estate planning, and probate experience come together in this much-needed, easy-to-follow book. Finally, the missing link to proactive estate planning: writing down all the essential details that are required for a trusted administrator to act on your behalf. No more scavenger hunts or tearing up your home while your essential information is hidden from view. Keep it peaceful! Provide this book to your appointed administrators so they can effectively meet their responsibilities to you and to your heirs.”
