As soon as we got married, I had him make a will and I updated mine. I had him change all his beneficiaries. We did POA and medical decision stuff. He moved all his banking to USAA with me. It took me a while to get his passwords, but I finally got them. He wants to be cremated, I don't care. If my mom is alive, bury me, otherwise, burn me.<br /><br />I completely agree with you - it is so important to have these things organized.<br /><br />His parents - it's going to be a mess. Their affairs are so disorganized.the gold diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134199198587591427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-25693387604237344332012-04-09T19:08:53.874-07:002012-04-09T19:08:53.874-07:00I'm such a ray of sunshine. :DI'm such a ray of sunshine. :DAliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566205581092404455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-56986563935433610062012-04-09T19:08:34.889-07:002012-04-09T19:08:34.889-07:00So, having written all this down, do you have REAL...So, having written all this down, do you have REAL plans for what happens when he dies? It is <b>when</b> you know, not if. <br /><br />Does he have life insurance? Do you? Do you know the passwords to his computer accounts? Do you have full access to all the bank accounts? Has he made you the beneficiary on his office life insurance/pension fund/retirement accounts?<br /><br />Have you had the "if I'm in a car crash and am going to be a vegetable" conversations? Do you both know if the other wants to be an organ donor? Do you both know the extent to which the other would want doctors to work to "keep you alive"? Do you both know what kind of funeral the other person WANTS? Do you both know if the other prefers burial or cremation?<br /><br />I could go on ... but I won't. I think you get my drift, and you know where I'm coming from.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566205581092404455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-83459866219563054712010-02-06T05:47:57.668-08:002010-02-06T05:47:57.668-08:00Babe, I'm not that good a person.

(see: Bertha's not stupid.) <br /><br />I am still kicking myself for not interfering in the divorce negotiations. I kept telling myself it was none of my business. Ha. TOTALLY my business. I had no idea how guilty Primo felt for leaving Bertha. I'm glad I'm married to a man with a conscience, but I wish he could have turned it off for his divorce. :)the gold diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134199198587591427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-35340288083437115002010-02-05T18:42:56.424-08:002010-02-05T18:42:56.424-08:00Maureen.
