Whether your loved one left a detailed plan or none at all, this guide serves as a

brief roadmap to help you manage essential tasks—from securing important

documents and notifying institutions, to arranging final services and handling the

estate.

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences. Alongside the

emotional grief, many are faced with unexpected legal, financial, and

administrative responsibilities. H.A.M.M.S. Legacy Guide for Next of Kin &
