...
As the op title suggests I'm trying to "make arrangements" for the future as I'm nearing 50 and have had a pretty crappy year health wise. I'm being monitored for a condition which could become malignant (sorry, don't want to be more specific..)
So, I've checked my life insurance and that runs till ds2 is 18 (so another 6 years)
The mortgage would get paid off if I died.
I'm looking at the LPOA forms on the www.gov.uk website to make my son my LPOA once he turns 18 (I have asked him and he has agreed)
I am also in the process of altering my Will to make sure my children will get my half of the house should my dh remarry.
Does that sound ok?
My dh is hard to talk to about this stuff. I know exactly what I'd get should anything happen to him but he really dislikes discussing what would happen if I died.
I don't know if he will make a LPOA or if he will change his Will but I'll suggest it.
Any tips to start this conversation??
BTW I'm making my ds1 my LPOA because he will adhere to my wishes. Dh would keep me on a machine for years if it were up to him.
Also, do any of you know about advance directives (if thats the right word..?)
Can I make a list of my wishes?
Thank you and happy easter 🐣
