Do you have an end of life plan?

[SaoirseS]

Planners like this, and ones without humor, are plentiful.

Will you hand your survivors a road map or a can of worms after you're gone?

I'm not just talking about your final wishes, I'm talking about letting your loved ones know where you bank, invest, credit card accounts that will need to be paid then cancelled, who gets what property, care of pets, etc.

I've told my family that if I come down with symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer's that I'm packing my armor and spear and sword and going up North to hunt bear until I die.
When the airtag stops moving for a day and then moves 30 miles in a day then I'm most likely in the stomach of a bear.

[SaoirseS]

Glad to hear you have a plan :-)

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah had one for years.

i have a file with solicitor and copy with my accountant.

Ex wife and sister also have copies.

recently updated everything the other month.

Plot selected and tree.

[SaoirseS]

You are ahead of most :-)

[ChrisMaster69]

@SaoirseS when you spend most of your life likely to be shot, blown up, die in an airplane, etc etc, it really is best to follow 6 P approach

[SaoirseS]

@ChrisMaster69. True that. The absolute worst estate planners have got to be funeral directors and retired funeral directors, who never seem to get around to it.

[ChrisMaster69]

@SaoirseS the other thing to consider are passwords to various accounts etc.

Once we go it’s not like we can give people a hint.

Even things as simple as the energy account, Car insurance, etc, most modern accounts are password protected and 2FA.

[SaoirseS]

@ChrisMaster69. Yes, I know. My grandmother died in her 90s, but she was pretty computer savvy and handled most every bill payment online. Some required second level authentication, requiring her phone or e-mail (which we couldn't access). It was a matter of calling utilities, service providers, and providing death certification to getting anything done. What a mess. I learned from her (and others') death what NOT to do. Needless to say, I have passwords written down with my Justin Case planning (and changed when needed).

[ChrisMaster69]

@SaoirseS thank you for MHG, most appreciated.

[SaoirseS]

You're welcome!

[LuvMeSomeBoys]

Yes I have my estate planning in order, but I don't have a lot of details like bank accounts and logins written down in one place. Maybe a book like the one in the photo would help. I should get on it.

[_deeznuts]

i made a will when i was like eight lol so its probably not reasonable

[abc3643]

My only survivor would be my wife (and 10 animals). I didn't make a will since she would and should get everything.

My wife's situation is different; she had kids and is, more or less, estranged from them. Under Missouri law, her kid's would get half and I get half if she died "intestate" (without a will). However, she wanted to get a will to make sure her kids get squat, so she's leaving everything to me and, if I pass, she's leaving it to her grandson from her dead son.

[NathanDavis]

I know I should... but I have not sorted out anything

other than trust funds for both my nieces' future, I have not done anything else

[SaoirseS]

Well you've done something at least :-)

[NathanDavis]

to be honest... I'm a bit superstitious about it, lol

[Redstang88]

No but I do need to get on it. After the disaster my dad left my sister and Me, don’t want to do that to anyone else

[SaoirseS]

My paternal grandmother did the same. After she died we (meaning primarily me, since my dad was of no help whatsoever) spent years getting her estate settled. And we're still not done.

[Redstang88]

Took us over 2 years and 50 grand in legal bills to deal with it. Cost us more than we got out of it

[SaoirseS]

Wow. It hasn't been that bad for me. Money wasn't the issue, it was a matter of finding a lot of things. Sorry to hear of your plight, I know it's rough.

[Dontaaaa]

No, tbh.

But sometimes I think about how I wouldn't want a funeral, because I don't like the idea of people who didn't really give a fuck about me when I was a live to come and see me get buried.

[Jamie05rhs]

I do not, and that is on purpose. I don't plan on dying; but if I do, I want them to suffer.

[SaoirseS]

I have no idea what to say to this, Jamie 😮

[Jamie05rhs]

@SaoirseS Sorry. I'm kind of fucked up. 😔

[jhl_x]

I did plan one but for my suicide. I don't have much but I certainly want what I have to bee looked after or at least given to the right people. I didn't go forward with it because I'm obviously alive and didn't find a reliable way to do it.

[SaoirseS]

Glad you’re still with us, and hope you continue to stay with for many decades to come ❤️

[jhl_x]

Nah. I'm just too busy to go on with it right now. But thanks.

[Sam_25]

Nah.. I'm selfish person I live in present and don't bother who gonna take my money after I die... it's none of my business.

I njoy my money till I have teeth in my mouth that's it. Lol

[exitseven]

No, We do not even have a will. My wife refuses to discuss it. If we both die it will be a big mess and willl probably result in my kids never speaking to each other again just like it is with my brother.

[midnightmoon05]

Are the kids close? Can you talk to your kids? The worse is leaving problems to others or making family’s dislike one another. It’s a very foreign concept to me to. It talk to my siblings.
My mom often tries to instigate stupid nonsense. But us 4 siblings don’t pay her much attention when it comes to finances. That’s why we are as successful as we are and not divided by my moms bath mouthing us.
My husband dealt with his fathers trust over 15 years ago. He and his siblings just worked in his moms stuff 2 years. ago.
We are trying to make things simpler for the kids. But we’ll see.

[exitseven]

@midnightmoon05 My kids are very close. They grew up together and are still very close. We own a couple of valuable properties and I would like to have a will and have a plan for after my wife and I die. My mother did nothing about her estate and the nursing home basically got most of it.

[Texaskid1]

I do not have any kids so I guess what I have will go to my niece.

[midnightmoon05]

Yeah… somewhat… just need to finish up our Will

[midnightmoon05]

We talk about these often as a family. Kids understand who we are, what we have and what their expectations are with finances and how to manage what they will get in the future. However, they have to work for.

[CubaPirate]

No but I've written my will

[call_me_scar]

Only that I'm an organ donor

[Juan4574]

No.
