a "Death Summit" (terrible name). We are having the second meeting soon... this one is more about what kind of service I want, what to put on the headstone, etc. I have put together a document that has all the information about banking, investments (retirement plans), bills and how and when they are paid, doctors' names, etc.
There are no account numbers or any amounts ~ just who to contact and where things are. The original copy of my will is with one of my children.

I was told that the bright green POLST form should be posted in a prominent place so that if 911 is called, your wishes can be followed. It is also important that all parties concerned know about what you specifically want so that there is no
arguing about what to do in case you are incapacitated.
