15. My sister and her husband have pre-purchased their plans

For cremation and for a place to put their ashes in a national cemetery (because of his military service). Included in those plans are directions for what they want for a memorial. That way they don't leave it to others to make decisions especially since they are childless. As soon as I can afford to, I will also make arrangements and pre-purchase a plan for me and for my husband since we're in the same boat.

I definitely do NOT want my youngest sister or her insane oldest daughter involved in any decision about my end of life - and I need to make sure I draw up documents indicating that. That needs to be done separately from re-writing my will (which will disown them) - wills are not consulted until after death, these kinds of documents need to be followed before and immediately upon death. I need to draw up something prohibiting them from going on my property or visiting any place where I am getting care. They got my Dad thrown out of a nursing home because of their crazy antics so it is a real worry for me.
