Whether you want the fruits of your life’s work to benefit your family, the environment, science, human rights, the arts, your church, or another cause dear to you, one thing is certain: It won’t happen unless you plan. What to Do with Everything You Own to Leave the Legacy You Want is a step-by-step, DIY guide to turning your money and “stuff” into something meaningful that will outlast you—whether you are in the prime of life or your later years, single or partnered, have kids or not, are well-off or of modest means. With her trademark practical wisdom, downsizing expert Marni Jameson offers plenty of comfort (and even some laughs) as she guides you through the following:
  • Identifying whom you want to benefit from your legacy
  • Navigating wills, trusts, and other paths to your goals

  • Making the best plan for your material assets
This book will encourage and inspire you through every step of your final downsizing project, helping you make a positive impact on the people and causes closest to your heart.

Great workbook/guideline. Appreciated that it was easy to understand but thorough. Makes an uncomfortable subject much easier to deal with.

I have been looking for a book like this and I am glad I finally found it. Not all of us are in a situation where we have children or other heirs that we want to leave our estate to. This book gives many suggestions as to charitable ways to leave money to organizations or causes that you care about. The checklists that are included are very helpful for getting everything ready before you visit a lawyer to make out your will and other estate paperwork.

Thank you for writing this book! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.
