3. Confronting one's mortality...

is difficult... I am in the process of updating my End-of-Life plan + will provide this information to my kids in the near future. I'm also doing the downsizing, clearing + cleaning... Parceling out family treasures to the kids + grandkids...

With your personal papers, don't forget to include a list of subscriptions + online sites... w/ passwords, if needed, to close the accounts. Don't forget lock codes for cellphones, laptops, tablets + computers + other devices. Your kids may need contact + other information you have stored on your devices, so make it easy to find.

I have a Pay on Death directive on my checking/savings accounts so my kids can access those funds immediately.
I need to get them copies of my POA, Advance Directive + insurance/burial plans.
I will add my grandson to my car title to he can take it when that time comes.

Thanks for the reminder... The best time to take care of the family is before it's time for the family to take care of me...
