Do everyone you love a favour, make a
will. It saves arguments over goods and property and it really
smoothes the settlement of the estate with the Probate
Office.
In fact, get everyone you know to make a will! - buy a will form, available from many good stationers and do it yourself too! If you can, get good life insurance cover now, before your health bars you!. Think seriously about a pre-need or pre-arranged funeral plan - make certain you inform your executors that you have such a plan and the whereabouts of the relevant paperwork. Prepaid plans are available from most funeral homes - a good reason to visit now and see if you like them! - and a variety of companies. Look for a logo that indicates the plan provider is part of an association which will give protection and assurances that your investment is safe. You can visit your local funeral directors and discuss your own arrangements with them if you wish and you should be able to give fairly specific instructions too, just don't get too involved and dragged into actually paying for anything! If you want specific options for your own or a friends funeral, then write it all down while you still can. Let everyone know what you've done. There is nothing morbid about doing this, in fact it can be a tremendous help to those you leave behind and it's a wonderful opportunity to dictate your truly, last wishes. By the way, there's nothing in law that requires anybody to follow these last instructions so perhaps you should make them a qualifier in that will you were going to prepare.... Leave a copy of your instructions with your will - guaranteed to be found! |
