You can never have enough...

[Kenj]

I have done the EPOA thing twice now and really hope to never have to do that again. When I asked my friend to be mine I warned her it was a shit job but promised to make it as easy as I could by writing everything down, including passwords and account numbers,  having no debt, a sensible funeral insurance plan, and keeping all arrangements clear and simple.

With luck that will help.

Gosh, having to agree with you again is getting to be a habit.... Ok, as long as it doesn't become a dirty habit  

Son, here in our area has EPOA on day to day matters, with daughter from Cairns having say when required. (A Proviso? on consultation with her on big things outside the boundaries set out by lawyer)

Ours will be pretty easy. Funeral wants written into wills, and ashes Memorial wall storage prepaid. The rest will sort itself out with the lawyer. One thing to do is all the details required for death cert etc. We have a couple f forms we got a week ago that we must fill out with all the necessaries.

Always told my two kids that the first line in our wills said  "Being of sound mind, We spent the last $5 yesterday"
