Really sound advice. I have two sisters who lost their husbands within a year of each other. I have witnessed the pain, confusion and ridiculous hoops they have had to traverse, all while deeply grieving. Getting things set up before hand is the way to go. You are in no shape to navigate this extremely challenging time without preplanning. Because of my sister's experiences, I have asked my husband to get all the paperwork, documents, passwords etc…together in one place. We also got an attorney and updated our wills and medical directives.
