What to do first when someone dies
Few things are urgent in the first 48 hours: a legal pronouncement of death, telling close family, care for dependents and choosing a funeral home. Don't pay their debts from your own money. Banks, Social Security and insurance can wait a few days. Full guide

When do I get the files?
Right after checkout. Gumroad opens your download page and emails you the link.
Is this legal advice?
No. It's an organizing guide. Probate rules differ by state; the workbook tells you when to bring in an estate attorney.
Does it work in my state?
Yes. The checklists, letters and tracker work in every US state. Our free state pages list each state's death certificate and small estate rules.
