I have been working to make sure that my affairs are in order so on the final days, things will go according to plan. So just want to see if anyone have any feedback on my plan below.
Pre-planning
1. Finances
- Put my loved one as the beneficiary of the account. This means they can access the account simply by providing their identification and death certificate. This applies to most financial accounts such as checking, savings, brokerage, IRA and pension plan
- Send my loved one the list of all my financial accounts (E.g. institution name, account number, how to reach them as a beneficifairy, etc.)
- Signed up for Pet Guardian program so that my pets are taken care off when I am gone
- Paid off all my debts so no financial institution can claim my money
- Setup Google Inactive Account, which means it'll be deleted X months after no activity. This include email, documents, calendar, etc.
2. Legal
- Wrote a will and name my loved one as the person where I will leave everything. The will is signed by 2 individuals (as required by my state).
- Send the executed will in a tamper proof envelope to my loved one.
1-2 days before D-Day
- Put my pets in a luxury boarding place. Named my loved one and the Pet Guardian as the authorized person to pick up the pets
- Put some stuff in a public storage place and named my loved one as the authorized person. That way they don't have to deal with all the legal stuff trying to get to my apartment.
- Destroy all personal stuff that have no use for my loved one. E.g. secure wipe on my computers and external drive, shred all documents, etc.
- Donate things my loved one doesn't need. E.g. cloth, appliance, etc.
D-Day
This will take place early morning (like 3 AM).
1. Finances
- Transferred money using various method (Apple Pay, Zelle, bank transfer, etc.) to my loved one so they have some cash in hand while working to get the rest of my money as the beneficiary.
2. Setup scheduled emails to be sent x hours to my loved one for saying goodbye and authorities to find my body. The later one is important because my loved one will need a death certificate. The authorities need to find my body and put it in a county morgue.
3. Leave a suicide note for the first responder so they know to be aware. E.g. if it's CO2, they should wear mask.
4. Off myself
Anything else I am missing?
