'Deeply practical' The Times
The essential guide to all you need to know and do as you get older and closer to the end of life.
'Peter Thornton is like a death doula. I've already ordered five copies' Alice Thomson in The Times
It is not difficult to imagine the sense of panic when faced with the sheer administrative hassle of the end of life, despite the fact that it will come to us all sooner or later. As we get older, all that needs to be done can feel alarmingly daunting. The good news is that Sir Peter Thornton KC has rationally organised and prioritised everything we need to know, and presents it in a simple, straightforward way that encourages us to complete all the necessary tasks.
With chapters on what to do before death (such as a will and a Lasting Power of Attorney), money, pensions, inheritance tax, scams, health, home, care, your rights, and what to do after the death of a loved one, this puts all the information in one place, and is as easy to follow as a shopping list.
