It is a bit of a precarious subject, but you should think about it. Certainly when your website is a solid source of income.

What happens when you die?

- 1. Bank accounts

All your assets will be frozen, your bank account, your credit card, etc. until it is clear who will have access to it.

Often the amount in the bank account is decisive. For example, if there is not much on it, the access is released earlier.

Keep in mind that a certificate of inheritance costs around $ 600 when you need this.

Many people think that they can prevent this paperwork for their relatives by authorizing someone to manage their account. But an authorization expires in the event of death. This also applies to a proxy, which is recorded in a life testament. Anyone who wants to appoint someone e.g an executor to arrange his bank affairs after his death must have a will written. On the other hand, this executor cannot arrange matters before the death. An executor needs a statement of execution to gain access to a checking account.

Banks often have a surviving relatives service or counter to help settle the banking affairs of a deceased customer.

I will be 95. My grandparents and my 26 aunts and uncles average age of death is about 92. I am a Personal Trainer/ Nutritionist and just won Planet Fitness IronMan competition against trainers half my age.(167 miles in 5 days). Good genes run in the family, so 95 is very doable.
At the rate this world is going though, I may go bat-shit crazy by then. lol

It's not what I am aiming for Mark, my mom is 92, and she has every month a funeral to attend to, it's getting lonely at the top

All but 2 of the family lived in Tennessee, so I went to 32 immediately family member funerals (grandparents (4), parents (2), aunt and uncles (26) very early in life. But I was blessed to have my parents both live to 90.

My son is the nominated executor of my will. He already has full access to my hosting account and I periodically email him my list of usernames and passwords for all my online business dealings as well as the code to access my computers and mobile phone.

He's not expecting to need any of this for a long time but it's a good idea to be prepared.

You are very wise, Marion, you never know when it's needed. My husband is aware of my passwords, and my daughter too.

Loves, I have spent my whole life in nursing. Nurses think about this kind of thing as if it is just a part of life.

Just a couple of days ago I was talking to my husband about my websites. He knows absolutely nothing about them.

This information is extremely helpful for us.

Thank you

Laura

Interesting training. We don't like to think about what happens when the inevitable occurs but it's good to prepare for it.
