There are always the "business side" that should be taken care of for the sake of your surviving relatives. (Most of us have family or friends who have had to deal with the complications of relatives not leaving wills.) I have informed my family of where my will is, that I have a living will and where it is, who my medical power of attorney is, who the executor is, and provided copies to them.
I also have a file with all my life insurance policies, retirement plans, beneficiaries of same, and have provided my parents and sister with a list of same. It occurs to me that I should probably add my sister as a joint owner of my personal and business bank accounts so that she can withdraw any funds from them immediately upon my demise and before it is legally known that I am in position and in the form to lime a garden.
