If light of recent events with my family we have a new sense of appreciation for having completing advanced directives and medical power of attorney. Here's a link that covers those but also addresses other areas that will make life easier for those left behind when you pass or if you are not capable.
Here’s the web site with the recommended legacy planning documents like the survivor checklist, document locator, sample messages to survivors, financial companies, and SSA.
This is the best site I’ve found that presents the information in a condensed, easy to read and to use manner.
I strongly advise you provide a list of user names and passwords to a trusted family member. I told my husband where to find my hand written list, which is a secured location. Pistol recommends using Last Pass, which stores user names and passwords in multi-encrypted environment but also allows her designee (husband) to access those accounts when needed.
One big thing - make sure your relatives know about how to pay your insurance premiums. We met a feller at the hospital who's 27 year old son had a massive stroke a year ago and struggles to function. Because his parents did not know about his health insurance and how to pay for it, he lost his insurance and relies upon Medicare and Medicaid.
