REVIEWS for LAST ORDERS
Since it's launch in the Spring of 2010, Last Orders sold out and went to reprint and has now become a staple item for those wishing to put their affairs in order. Along with the general public, there are now law firms within the UK Legal 500 using Last Orders for their Will-making clients as well as members of STEP, estate planners and Independent Financial Advisers.
Below are links to reviews, articles and interviews about Last Orders. Click on the links for further details.
One of the intended consequences of Last Orders is to prompt the reader to discuss the issues raised and their wishes with their family and friends. I hope the author appreciates just how valuable this is at heading off potential post-death arguments and perhaps even avoiding costly litigation.
The writer (of this article) would wholeheartedly recommend this book for both clients and practitioners alike"

"For guidance on making end of life provision, we particularly like the book Last Orders, by Patricia C Byron, which has sections to fill in that guide you through leaving a letter of wishes detailing funeral arrangements and other concerns."
***
"The detailed guidelines and checklists represent an indispensible aid to anyone who has to tackle the affairs of a loved one especially at a time of grief. For the executor, it will be a tremendous time saving exercise with details of financial assets and obligations, utilities and related matters all recorded in one place together with location of paperwork etc."

"Last Orders is a very practical guide to death, and deals with all of the issues relating to all the aspects in your life that need to be addressed by your loved ones when you die. Would my epitaph be "Sorry you missed the Deadline"?"

"The beauty of this book is that when asking someone to make a Will, it can sound as if you are only thinking of the financial gain. Which is not true. This book goes into the details of what will happen to pets and belongings and what we would like for our final goodbyes. That is why it works: by handling the sensitive but important issues that we all worry about when we are gone. It is a great start to getting anyone to write their Will and think about what they would like to happen when the unthinkable happens."
Janet Crawford of Bolton 96.6FM

"Last Orders is more than a book, it is a document which does what it says on the cover: it will serve as your Letter of Wishes, and offer your family and executors clarity at a time when they will be needing assistance. Giving your time to the completion of this document now, will help your loved ones in the future. This book is, quite simply, exceptionally useful."
