Clearing up my life, passing things on so I don't leave issues behind.

So far I have sorted the cars and bike, transferred all the bills into joint names, lawyer coming to draw up living will and normal will.Docs have a DNR.

What else? I really don't want to forget anything as I have spent a lifetime avoiding this stuff when I can, last chance so want to et it all sorted in good order. Kids will be looked after long term, just need to make the transition as smooth as possible for partner etc,

I am notoriously bad at reading more than the last 2 posts in a thread ... so have no idea of your illness.
Have you posted in other threads about ? if so I will go look up rather than you post here.

Are you talking just financials ?

How about passing on your thoughts / memories / experiences etc.
Video ? Written ? Recording ?

To be honhest going on experience of missing my dad, you have said you have children so from a child's point of view here are my suggestions.

So maybe something to do with these;

Things that I miss is the voice, simple voice is beginning to go wish I could hear it again. << something to do with that.

Photo's can't have enough I've only got 3 at max of my dad one with me but when really young. So they are a great thing to think about.

Go out with your kids and wife have fun at different places if possible give them some memories.

If you are creative maybe write a story or song, I found one of my dad's and It's the most precious thing that I've got in my life.

Other than that it's finance, wills, funeral arangements make sure thats sorted but thats later date with information on songs and security of your family.
Try to think about it from different points of view, sorry to hear the bad news hope it doesn't come to it though Sad .

EDIT: Have you also thought of listing down medical family history problems this will be helpful if dread the worst but your children become ill in the future. You know most of them ask this question, this feels bad asking but just popped into my mind.

Apologies in advance ... as I am straying into dangerous territory here ... ie: commenting on personal matters to someone that is dying.
But, I get very soppy about this sort of stuff.
Makes my 'argument' last night with the kids (who wouldnt go to bed.. and which then spilt over to me getting a strop on with Mrs Silky ... and me waking up moody going " my weekend is now poop") , seem quite pathetic.

Anyway ... I dont think anything you personalize would end up being cheesy. Certainly not to your family.
Being a natural miserable old goat ... I often have thoughts of things like this .. and what I would do or say.

Depending on their age ... pass on your thoughts of what you went through / experienced / etc at certain stages in life.
Also, something aimed at the kids when they hit maturity ... around what they mean to you.
Same for the missus / mates / etc?

More I think about it, the more it all seems like a crap idea .... and I think I should just be quiet Smile

EDIT: and the more I think about it ... I realsie that you must have thought of these things a million times. Hence you were asking about practical matters . Sorry fella.

This may seem a little facetious, but it's a cracking idea. It'll help your SO/nearest and dearest sort stuff out if the worst happens.
Nominate an executor, as well: you'll want to get that sorted out well in advance, because it's major arseache for said executor, and they'll need a bit of a run-up to sorting out your affairs.

I genuinely had no idea bout your illness, dude. How are you holding up?

Sorry to hear about it mate.

Like Silky and others have said, passing on memories and thoughts can be huge.

Dunno what age your kids are. I lost both parents fairly young. I can't remember much about my Mum, and the main thing that I can remember about my Dad was a pair of legs in blue overalls sticking out from underneath whatever car he was fixing, usually accompanied by a clang of some spanner and an expletive, "Jesus Christ and bastard", sticks in the mind particularly well. He spent his working life building cars, and the rest of it fixing em AFAICR. What I missed out on was the later in life going out drinking with him, where you bond, share thoughts, ideas, experiences and views on the world. I've been out with all my mate's dads when they've gone out for a social pint, but never got to do it with my own. I never got on with the rest of the family, so missed out on any shared info. Very few photos either.

All the above sounds like over sentimental crap, but when your kids get older, they'll want to know what their Dad was about. Some photos are one thing, but the sound of a voice, thoughts, ideas, experiences, whatever, gives a huge 3D experience to remember someone by, that if you don't do, just can't be replaced.

Memories fade, things you play and re-watch help refresh them. Video and audio recording are dirt cheap nowadays, so you would be crazy to to leave em something. It doesn't have to be profound or some Hollywood schmaltz, just a lasting record of you, the man, in your own words, for them to remember you by.

Delete all your porn. Other than that I got nothing.

I was kidding about the porn - just encrypt it.

if your kids are young record yourself reading some bedtime storys so dad can still read tyhem a bedtime story.

my friends dad died when she was 8 or 9 she is now 35 and on her wedding day his old best m8 gave her a letter he had written for her on her wedding day i dont know what it said but it made her very emotinal (in a good way)

so maybe think about milestones in your kids lives to come and make sure there is something there from you.


really sorry to hear about your illness dude.

If the whole video diary thing isn't your thing, do something with the family that you can catch on video - a day out at the seaside or whatever would be good for them to remember you by - lots of photos, videos etc.

TBH. I would have transfered bills to partners name only. Save them having to change it all again.

Close your bank account and put the money into their sole account again saves work for them, so long as you trust them to do as you ask.

She has little or no credit rating as I have paid everything since she moved it, so she may find the association helpful.

My dad has access to my account now through the net, he can shift out the money when it is required, other half has my card.


Once the benefits are set up they will go straight into her account.

Thinking DLA for me, carer for her and the usual tax credits etc.

Might even get a blue badge if they can stop it growing lol

Be carefull who finds this out.

Its a serious breech of the banks T/C and could result in the acc access being frozen.

Yes I know its your money, but its not unknown for people to odd things and move/spend cash to their own needs.
Then leaves the other party a massive mess to try and clear up.

Recording passwords in a spreadsheet on PC is not a good idea.... Far to easy for someone to access it and its all gone......

Far better for her to build up her own credit rating now. Even if it means starting with a basic bank acc (cash card only). At least it gets her on the road.
As some banks might withdraw some of the acc facilities O/D etc when informed of your death.

Sorry for being so black on this, but i deal with just this side of things and know what does happen Evil or Very Mad

Take it easy and enjoy the rest of your life Thumbs Up

Update for Jodie
3 weeks and 6 ops from when it started, I finally got out the hospital.

2 drains fitted, 2 shunts fitted, 1 biopsy and one cleaning infected wound and tying off shunt.

Due to start radiotherapy treatment on wednesday, they are hoping to slow the growth of the tumour. My neurosurgeon said he would hope for 1 or 2 yesrs for me.

He has confirmed s surgicsl interventon is out of the question, so radiotherapy is best hope of delaying the inevitable.

Good news is I went to GP today and got a prescription for the drugs I wsnt, not bad as they are not on the NHS approved trstments,

I dont expect a miracle cure, however they have other benefits
