All About the Final Wishes Organizer

The final wishes organizer is in two parts: Part I contains the plan for after death; Part II holds details on funeral plans.

Part I of the final wishes organizer is a planning document for your death.

It has questions that will help you think about what you would like to have happened after you die. The answers will help your loved ones know what matters most to you. Whether it’s an organ donor card or funeral plans, Part I is the part of the final wishes organizer where all this information goes.

Part II of the final wishes organizer is a guide for making decisions now so that there will be less to worry about after death.

After writing down everything in Part I, use Part II to keep track of any other important issues such as who takes care of your children if you die before they become full-time adults (if this concerns you). Or who will pay your bills or take care of your pets? There is also a section in Part II that helps decide what to do with things you might want to give away, like the house you would leave to your children.

A final wishes organizer can be very helpful and give much peace of mind to family members. You can make a copy of this final wishes organizer for each member of your family so family members have everything at hand when they are making decisions after you die. It’s a good idea to have several copies made so people can keep them current as changes occur in their lives and other details are added. Putting this information together in one place may seem too overwhelming now, but it’s worth it.

• Write down all the things that matter most to you. This could be specific information that will help people like a copy of your organ donor card or doctor’s name, relevant phone numbers, or even funeral arrangements. Be sure to include all the information they may need for these decisions.
• Consider who might need this information in case something happens to you and how soon you want them to have it available. Asking someone too early might make them uncomfortable and vice versa.
• If possible, have the document notarized and ask multiple people to hold onto a copy in case of untimely death.
• Update your final wishes organizer as time goes by and if there is any change in your health or you become involved with an even more serious medical condition.
• Read it over periodically to make sure it’s up to date and complete so that you can pass on what is important to you after you die.

Other helpful hints:

The following list gives advice from Steve Dunn, author of Final Wishes: A Lively Way to Organize Your End-of-Life Affairs. He says: “It should include every major aspect of your life - including personal, financial, business, family and medical wishes.”

• Keep it in a place where you will see it regularly so that you can be sure to update it if any of the information needs changing.
• Get other people involved. If you live with someone, have them read over the document with you from time to time to make sure things are up to date. Have friends who know what your wishes are? Have them keep a copy in case something happens to you unexpectedly.
• Do not sign anything else for three months after you buy your final wishes organizer, just in case your situation changes before then and an issue comes up that affects what is written there; then change it as necessary.
• Ask multiple people including one close friend or family member to hold onto a copy of the final wishes organizer. They will have access to it in case something happens to you, and it can help prevent disputes among your loved ones.
• Do not let financial constraints deter you from making this decision when the time is right. You never know what could happen in an accident or death. It’s best to be prepared if it does occur.
