Everyone needs a death to-do list – here are 25 things to sort out while you're alive
Does your family know your end-of-life wishes? Or where to find your will, passwords, bank accounts and subscriptions? Creating a death to-do list now can spare your loved ones unnecessary stress and uncertainty, whether your passing is expected or sudden.
Many families lack knowledge of their loved one's end-of-life wishes, personal belongings or financial accounts. A "death to-do list" can help prevent confusion and stress for those left behind. This list covers everything from wills, funeral preferences, passwords and document locations to passwords, PINs, and recovery codes. It is recommended to create this list while still healthy and share it with a trusted individual.
The list also includes planning one's own funeral, designating an executor, and designating a guardian for children. Additionally, consider how cryptocurrency and other assets not typically listed in a will should be handled. Planning ahead can provide clarity on personal priorities and values, reducing uncertainty during a difficult time for loved ones.
