By way of background, when my father at the age of 85 was diagnosed with terminal cancer with three months to live, I visited my parents in Arizona to help ensure their affairs were in order to make the transition easier on my mother. When I first sat down with my parents, and started to go through an early version of this list that I had received from an estate planning attorney, I would ask my Dad for this or that document and watch him wander off to the four corners of their house and car to retrieve the requested document. I doubt my mother would have been able to do even 10% of that retrieval process on her own. So I resolved to make things easier for my family, and this list is one of the outcomes. 

​

Finally, since no one knows how long they will live, and tomorrow is not promised to anyone, if you have not already done so, I recommend you get started on your list sooner than later.
