About the 'To Do When I Die List' E-mail

 

This document gives you the opportunity to list your responsibilities in order to communicate your needs to those who are most likely to take care of the arrangements, (e.g. the funeral, children, pets, bills, etc.) in the event of your death.  It will help others handle your affairs in the way you would have them done.

 

Please note: This document is not a will.  It is full of all the handy details that are often not included in a will.  We recommend filling in a 'To do When I Die' list prior to drawing up your will, as it could help you to remember all the details you would like to name in your last will and testament.

 

Use the links below to print the document and fill it in as is, or 'download' and save it as a word document on your computer so that you can add and change it to meet your specific needs.
