There is a time for us to die and I have been working on a website called A Time To Die. The aim of the website is to give your advice and hints so that you have everything in place ready for your death. This may be writing a will or making sure you have sufficient funds or life insurance to cover your burial needs.
My friend Chris said that since she is struggling at the moment why should she bother since she would not be here, so a paupers grave would suffice. I took on her point and later discovered that if you have children you can put in your will who you would like your parental responsibility passing to. Although this can be challenged it is there never the less.
Chris went on further to then suggest that she had no plans of dying just yet. To this I had to reply that I had two uncles that were taken early.
What got me started on the website in the first place was that an elderly aunt began to suffer with Alzheimer's disease and Dementia and although she had written a Last Will and Testament, she had not be advised to make out a Power of Attorney. Her estate did not really amount to much but the problems encountered trying to administer her affairs seemed to be insurmountable. Although we managed in the end, being given the POA would have made it far simpler.
If you have had problems similar to those encountered to those mentioned above, why not comment and perhaps I can make use of the information
