All PALS should have an Advance Directive specifying end of life wishes and a will or trust. I think it is also helpful to survivors to prepare post-death instructions. This is especially important in the event of a sudden death.
What I have done in my post-death instructions is prepared a list of important names and numbers of people for my spouse to contact upon my death, such as Attorney, accountant, financial manager, insurance agent, etc. I’ve also made a list of my passwords, pin #’s, account #’s and a list of all my accounts. And even instructions and reminders for mundane things I used to do such as changing the air filters . I also wrote my obituary and some suggestions for my memorial service.
There will always be things we don’t think of, but advanced planning and clear instructions make it helpful for the survivors. Other ideas and opinions are welcome.
