[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3923442, member: 50228"] If I think back to all the things me and the boys did in the day I swear we should have died a thousand deaths. I recently (much too late, really) set up a trust, will, and a TON of documentation on what to do in various situations (my Fonzie bump for the heater when it goes on the fritz, how to handle the banking and bill pay, what antiques and guns are worth and what not to throw away, etc.). This info is on a website that my son set up on my computer that isn't accessible to the outside world. And he put a trigger on it I have to reset. So every couple of days I visit a website that says, "Hi dad!" and it resets a counter. Once that counter reaches 2 weeks (showing that I'm dead) it'll send out an email to my kids, wife, and lawyer that includes all my passwords for websites, investments, banking, etc. so they can get in and handle things. It's probably one of the best and most introspective things I've ever done, typing up that list for them. I put in private notes to each kid and my wife, tells them what I love about them, things I would change, regret, and so on. You can pour your heart out in text in a way you can't in real life. Anyway, when I kick off they'll all get notified of my data and their inheritances, along with some important instructions to help them run the house and my investments. I just wanted to make things as easy on them as possible. Total cost was about $1000 out the door, including the trust and web stuff. [/QUOTE]
