PSA: Even if you do not have much, write a will. Tell someone in your family where it can be found. Choose an administrator/executor and ask them if they are willing to do this. Make sure they know where your will is too. Name a Power of Attorney and do the paperwork. 1/6
You don't have to be rich to have a will or choose a power of attorney. Having your wishes all laid out is one of the kindest, best things you can do for those you love. 2/6
No one wants to think about becoming incapacitated, or dying, but it happens. Do you want your family to be floundering after you can no longer look after things? It doesn't have to be expensive. There are DIY will options that are completely legal. 3/6
You don't have to have a lawyer. It doesn't have to be complicated. Handwrite your wishes and have someone witness your signature and then put it in a specific place and let some people know where it is. 4/6
It's really that simple. Do you want to be cremated in a cardboard box? Or do you want your family to spend your entire estate on a lead-lined ebony casket? Write it down. Do you want a religious service? Or a non-religious wake? Write it down and let people know where it is. 5/6
For goodness sake, the last kindness you can do, the last way you can look after your loved ones, is to have a will and keep it somewhere safe and let people know where that is. 6/6
