After I Die

When you die, either expectedly or without warning: oWill your executor know who to contact? oWill they be lost in your house, trying to find financial records? oWill they know about that burial policy you bought fifteen years ago? oWill they know your social security number? oWill they even know what questions they should have asked you while you were still alive? At long last, here's an easy way for you to be kind to your executor by answering all five of those questions (and dozens more). Answer them now, before you risk being unable to answer them. Making a will or answering all these questions doesn't mean you're going to die soon. It means that whenever you do get around to dying, the people you leave behind won't resent you for leaving them without the knowledge they need.
