Would Your Family Know What To Do If You Died Tomorrow?
One day to sort EVERYTHING.
Monday 20th April 2026 | Shendish Manor, Hemel Hempstead
£250 per person | £200 for family members
When Someone Dies, It's Not Just The Grief That Hits
It's the paperwork. The passwords. The "where did they keep ... ?"
The solicitor bills at £300 per hour just to START piecing it together.
The average executor spends over 50 hours sorting a loved one's estate.
£4.5 billion sits unclaimed in forgotten UK bank accounts.
27 million Brits don't even have a Will.
Your family doesn't need that stress. You can sort it all in ONE day.
Here's what recent workshop attendees had to say ...

Hello! I'm Caro Syson
I started Your Final Matters after helping my mum (who turned 92 this year!) get all her paperwork sorted.
I realised how overwhelming it all was - and how unprepared most of us are for the admin side of ageing and death.
I've worked in finance and property for 35 years, I'm a funeral celebrant,
and a single mum of 4. And I STILL found it a lot.
That's why I created this workshop - so you don't have to figure it out the hard way, and your family doesn't get left with a mess.
