Hi @kimspr3 I was referring to a document my wife wrote explaining those things she wanted done in various circumstances should they happen to occur. She wanted to avoid some of the traumas , , second guessing, and resultant arguing, which had occurred in her family at the times of earlier deaths. Such as ‘ if ‘A’ happens to me, I want the following done.’ If ‘B’ happens, then do this (something different.
She also included giving some highly personal items to specific folks prior to her death as well as all directions for her Celebration of Life.
I can elaborate if you’d like.

Thank You Scott, I have a will but no family. No Medical Power of Attorney. One thing I am sure of, I will be donating my body to a medical school because of the A.A . and lack of interest and it's cause. It means so much to me that others will not endure what I have and many others. I don't know what to do with my Antiques, Jewelry, ETC. Someone did my Ancestry, 5 volumes, so much. My Uncles Purple Heart, Medals, Letters from President Rosevelt, and of-course His American Flag. I can't count on anyone. Some times I can't sleep thinking about all this but especially my Sergeant Uncle Sam. I will probably pass before my husband. Hope you re doing well

Hi Scott. This would be very helpful to me tho' I am not the originator of this query. Mom has now been diagnosed as Alzheimers and your thoughts re this planning ahead on what she would prefer would be very good for us. Can you advise? We just had our first conversation tonight about for example, f you have Alzheimers and pneumonia, or stroke, or heart attack or are in a vegetative state, do you want lifesaving measures of any type,ie meds, IV feeding, etc
