Venting Im tired thinking about all the things I need to take care of before I CTB

I wish there was a list of things you should take care of before CTB.

My mind is really foggy right now so it's hard to think about what I need to do. But I have time and sometimes I have bursts of energy.

I need to do things like delete all my phone/computer data, throw away or donate stuff that I don't want people to see after I'm gone.

And I then I have to spend a lot of time researching my CTB method. And I have to make my suicide note…

I don't know what else I need to do. If anyone has any recommendations of what I can add to my list that would be cool.

I just want to make things easy for my family after I die. I'm not superwoman so I know I can't do everything but I want to at least try if I can.

1. Make sure your finances / belongings are in order.
2. Review beneficiaries for things like retirement accounts that you might have.
3. Make a list of your logins for important accounts and devices, just in case loved ones need to access them for 2FA or something.
4. Compile a list of important documents like your birth certificate, passport, etc.
5. Prepare an obituary, if you wish, so that loved ones don't have to write one themselves
6. Make a list of important contacts you have.
7. Choose a funeral home. Make arrangements for how you want your funeral conducted

Obviously you don't need to do everything here. I for one won't be doing many of these things because many of them aren't applicable to me. I also don't care about what funeral arrangements are made for myself nor do I care to share my contacts. I'll be nice enough to give them device passkeys and account passwords just in case they need to access them though.

Thanks for the reply. What would they even need to login into tho. I feel nervous about people going on my devices and maybe finding something embarrassing.

Mostly just 2-factor authentication in the event they needed to access your bank accounts or something. I don't actually know what happens with those (maybe someone with experience can chime in?) so I just throw it in just in case. If you're worried about embarrassing stuff you don't need to do it. I'm fairly certain that even without a will your bank will just put it into your trust. If you're paranoid about it you can also make sure to go in and delete all the embarrassing things. There's a very small chance the police might have it be a homicide investigation unless it's a clear-cut suicide, and if that's the case they'd be going through your devices. It's extremely unlikely but it's a non-zero chance. The police won't give a shit about what you have. Trust me, whatever you've got they've seen 10,000x worse.
