If You Died Today.........

[boinky 0]

No....it's not wrong to have your future planned out.

Once upon a time....I had it all planned out, complete with insurance, etc. Then about 1 1/2 years ago, my life did a flip-flop.

I know what I THINK I would like to happen if I died...but I don't know how it would get carried out. Or who....

I guess it's time I sat down and made some notes. And since I don't have insurance any more, I need to start saving some money, just in case.

Yep............being that I have an 11 year old it's sort of a must. I have had a will since 1996 I think. I had a lawyer review it in 2005 and he says it's all still good. I get nice life insurance through my job. It's all fairly squared away.

Answers:

1) Of Course. I have it in writing.

2) My Arrangements are to be released on a jump over the ocean. This is because I Surf & Skydive. I Love the Water & SKY!

3) Yeah. I am worth a bunch if I Pass.

4) I have a living will in case I go into a coma or somehting. I do not want to be like the shaivo(sp) woman in Tampa. She was on life support for 12+ yrs. FUCK THAT!

It is nice to have a plan but even with them they do not always happen.

1. My wife.

2. Cremation. I don't want people wasting money on a nice coffin which gets seen for a day and then rots in the ground.

3. Yes. Enough to pay off the mortgage and cover about 4 years worth of other living expenses.

4. Nope. Some day I'll get arround to a will that covers what happens if my wife and I die simultaneously.

[mjosparky 4]

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes

Anything less would be selfish and not fair to those you leave behind.

1. Do you have a specific someone to take care of the "arrangements?"

Yes, my executor, who is my financial advisor. I don’t want to burden the kids with dividing up the loot.

2. Do you know what those "arrangements" will be? Please share your thoughts.

I’d like an ash dive and a simple memorial service at the DZ. I’d like my estate to pay for any costs associated with it. If my family and friends want to come, they’d have to go to the DZ.

3. Do you have life insurance (or monies put away to cover costs)?

I have more assets than debt and enough in life insurance to cover a very elaborate funeral which I don’t want. I also have medical, short-term disability, long-term disability, and long-term care insurance in case I’m injured.

4. Do you have a will?

Yes, and durable and health-care powers of attorney.

What I need to do is write a letter letting my executor know who I want to go through my underwear drawer. I don’t particularly want him or my sons to do that. It would be better to assign that task to a trusted girlfriend.

1.My parents and my husband.
2.Traditional.
3.Yes, I have.

#1, Yep.
#2, Yep.
#3. Yep
#4. Yep.

I guess being in the fire department has something to do with it. We have to update wills, insurance and such every five years, It sucks to be a responsible adult.

I just realized... I need to appoint somebody to get rid of all my porn and sex toys (past relationships) before my parents go through my house. Yikes... scary thought... not dying, but mom and dad finding my dvd collection.

Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

I don't have a will, but Morgan is listed on my Life Insurance and she knows my wishes. I need to get a will put together.

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

[drae 0]

I have a living will and an advanced directive. My oldest son knows where these documents are and he and I have had the conversation. He is the only one I trust to see that things go as I would wish regardless of what others want or think should be done.

[SkydiveStMarys 0]

1) Yes

2) You know, I hear a song every now and then and think to myself, "Yep, that sums it up pretty well, what a great song to play at a funeral." Do I write it down? Do I tell someone? No and No. I don't want a somber funeral. I want people to celebrate my life. I want it all to be very low key though.

3)No

4)No

I guess I need to get my shit together. I have to admit, I have been thinking about "death" for the past few weeks. I have been in a "dark" mood, which does not help my morbid fascination.

1. Do you have a specific someone to take care of the "arrangements?"
My husband and my parents jointly.

2. Do you know what those "arrangements" will be? Please share your thoughts.
I have made my wishes known implictly that I wish to be an organ/tissue/cornea (and anything else they can use) donor.I do not wish to be on any life-support if I cannot sustain a 'normal quality of life' without it including a DNR agreement.I've discussed cremation w/my husband but I'm sure my parents would want my body returned to my home town for burial.I havent decided which way I'd go so they would have to come to an agreement amongst themselves.If cremated I want part of my ashes spread over Ireland.

3. Do you have life insurance (or monies put away to cover costs)? I have full health,disability and life insurance.

4. Do you have a will?
I have no will but my husband knows that I wish everything I own to be his to keep,give away whatever as he sees fit with the exception of the things I inherited from my grandparents after their death,those things go back to the family.A few pieces of jewelry go to my mother and my gun goes to my father.

I'll keep things as is for now because my husband and family get along well at present.But if at any time I see there may be a problem carrying out my wishes or think they would fight over anything then I will put things in order with legal documentation.At that time my husband will be my power of attourney in all medical/health and financial matters and the executor of my estate.

Me too.....obviously by the question I posted. I'm not suicidal or anything, mind you. It's just that the realization that the one I would want to take care of things probably couldn't come home to do so and it has REALLY been bothering me. It makes me feel very alone. My blood family is over 900 miles away and my mom doesn't drive. I don't know if they'd even come to take care of it.

Of course, I have 4 "no" answers, so I need get myself more organized, huh?

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

[matt1215 0]

1. My parents

2. No, and it matters little to me.

3. I have SGLI through the USAF, but I have no idea if it pays if I die skydiving.

4. No

I'm single with no kids and as far as I'm concerned, the bank can repo my car and other creditors can eat my accounts. My parents are well enough off that they can deal with my remains as they see fit without much worry. I have enough put away in various accounts that everything would probably be a wash.
