[QUOTE="cadydid, post: 237060, member: 6608"] I can not begin to tell you how important these things are.. a lesson I learned the hard way. My parents were in a car accident that took my father's life and put my mom on life support for 6 weeks and in the hospital a total of 3 months. I'm the second of 4 kids and none of us had a clue. We knew nothing and had access to nothing. We had to pool money to pay for the funeral because the life insurance paid out to my mom, and we couldn't access the accounts for 6 weeks after the funeral. We didn't know if my father wanted to be buried or cremated. 4 kids ages 34 to 27 and you would have thought that we were 5 year olds with the way that we going through things. And whatever you do, please put in your will, please state who you want things to go to. While everything was planned for my mom, that was not. And it caused a lot of bad feelings between my sister and I and our brothers. To this day, my brothers and I really dont talk other than playing nice in front of the kids. [/QUOTE]
