I was surprised when I was visiting with a college friend in Seattle this fall. She asked, “How will I know when you die?” I was surprised with my response. “I don’t know.”
When I returned home, I created a document that I put with my estate planning papers. Here is what I created. I encourage you to use this form or modify it to fit your needs. Put it where someone you trust will be able to find it:
Family, friends and others to notify if I am seriously ill or die
