If you think you may die soon
This page is not here to frighten you. It is here to reduce harm.
First
If you are overwhelmed, do fewer things, not more.
Pick one person you trust. Tell them the basics. Then rest.
Three decisions that matter
- Where your will is, and who your executor is
- Who should be contacted immediately
- Where your key documents and accounts are
What not to do
- Do not make major financial decisions in panic
- Do not sign things you do not understand
- Do not let other people rush you into commitments
When you have some breathing room
One sentence you can use
I cannot do everything today. I will do one thing, then rest.
