...recent events prompted me to get serious about putting my affairs in order. Went to a lawyer. I have no spouse or kids so I don't have the normal community property or heirs to deal with. Thought it prudent to lay out exactly what I wanted and how the estate is be settled.
So I find I needed to think more carefully who should be my executor and who should have power of attorney etc in case I'm incapable. I want my executor to be someone outside the family because I've heard too many bad stories. The lawyer said I should have someone in the family to decide about life support rather than nonfamily. Ok. That's a challenge I have to figure out considering my family ... ugh.
I'm curious about how you've settled your affairs. Don't have to give details.
