Default Post your living will

I was just talking to my mom about how I want my funeral if things overseas should go south, so if you have an idea or even a real one (mine is in the making), post your living will.

-Sister will receive the $400K insurance pay-out
-My car(s) (whatever it is at the time) will go to my friend Phil
-My personal belongings (electronics) will go to my sister
-Clothes will be donated to charity
-Bank account to be emptied by POA and donated to charity
-Last paycheck goes to my sister
-Once Honor Guard carries my coffin from the plane, bagpipers will play "Amazing Grace" at my wake and lowering of the coffin


Sounds morbid, but shit, some people need to start planning for such an occasion.

Hmmm.... You're right. It's a good idea. I know where I'd like certain things to go, but haven't really gone through the process to make sure it happens.

Usually it's free or small charge because they aren't doing anything but holding it.

don't you mean Last Will and Testament?

Living Will = to make the decision ahead of time to decline life support when it's clear that death is imminent...so your family won't have to make the difficult decision to pull the plug.

Well we call it living will because you're not near death, but it's a will in case something causes an early demise.
