For many Baby Boomers (b. 1946-1962), death can be a touchy subject. They need to keep their inheritance away from step relatives, charities and caring neighbors. The more money at stake, the more potential beneficiaries seem to turn up. Meanwhile, their parents are growing older and less inclined to leave all their money to their children, as of right.
Even after receiving an inheritance the Baby Boomer’s own adult children are a challenge. They can range from "competent and never call" to "have trouble sitting the right way round on a toilet seat." Their children are forever marrying (or failing to marry) spendthrift, drunken, philandering partners.
At 62 years old, the oldest Baby Boomers increasingly find themselves under siege from many different quarters to make a decision. This attention is heightened by there being more money at stake.
The Legal Guide to Dying-Baby Boomer Edition is the ultimate Exit Tool for those Boomers with little time to spare.
Written and illustrated by Paul Brennan, an Australian who has practiced law in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.

Here's an excerpt from the Introduction to A Legal Guide to Dying: Baby Boomer Edition:
Johnny Carson once said, "For three days after death, hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off." Generally, people can laugh about death, provided it is not their own.
There are few books which boast such a large potential target audience but which have no apparent market appeal whatsoever.
Basically, you hate being reminded about your own upcoming "death experience." Even when you are at death's door, you look for books that take your mind off things, rather than, for once in your life, getting yourself sorted out.
So, amid all the other things that they must do, why should the Dying read this book?
Well, it is mercifully short.
However, mainly because when you are dying many subjects become taboo (e.g., what are you doing for Christmas?).
Law can help bridge those awkward lulls in the conversation. You will be amazed at how fascinated your adult children are in finding out about the legal imact of your demise.
