    I, too, am glad this thread is suggesting some items to start considering. Since I am coming up on 82 years of age and have had seven(7) different cancers in my past, I figure I ALMOST have one foot in the grave. Recently ordered a headstone for the Wife and I and will pay for it as soon as it is completed and set. Going to run around $2,700 and our plot has been paid for about 30 years ago. Gonna be roasted in the crematorium so Wife can hand carry me to the resting spot, about 100 miles from our current location. Want to keep this “celebration” as simple and cheap as possible. No church Mass, no wake and one simple prayer when the urn is placed in the ground. American Legion will fire off a few blanks and the few relatives then can get together after burial for a lunch with an OPEN BAR. No memorials wanted as would rather have folks buy something for their family with that money so their family can all enjoy it.

    Not that he’s near deaths door but my dad is no spring chick. He’s already added me to his bank accounts and we’ll likely being drawn up a power of attorney(s) allowing me to make decisions on his behalf and deal with any property he may own should there come a time when he is no longer capable of making his owns decisions for whatever reason.

    We have wills, trusts and all of that. I have a friend who will sell the guns for my wife. He now has some health issues. I worry i may be better off than him. Then what does my wife do?

    Had a lawyer tell me once:
    "One micro millisecond after you die, you don't care anymore."
