The Survivor's Guide - V.K. Thornton
Product Description
Everyone's heard the stories: An aunt's husband dies and the vultures sweep in. She ends up paying $10,000 for a coffin, even more to a lawyer and then loses the rest of her money in shady investments.
The financial services sector has become a do-it-yourself marketplace - and the point where that hits people hardest is in dealing with worldly matters after a loved one dies.
Thornton brings more than a decade of experience in human resources and financial education to an extremely emotional issue. And she gives vulnerable people easy-to-use tools for avoiding - or dealing with - crooks and crooked business.
