Putting My House in Order

When Joan went into the hospital I knew she would never be able to live by herself again. With the help of four very dear friends we sold Joan's mobile home and her furnishings. I was able to deal with Joan's bills, etc. It was made easier because Joan could communicate with me but still was a task that was not simple. After Joan died I continued to 
take care of her affairs, many times stumbling through because she wasn't here to help me.


Sister Susi and I decided to make it as easy as possible for our executors. There was the possibility that I would die suddenly and my executrix would have no one to talk to about
my affairs.
I met with Jo Ann, my exec, last week and we went through a lot of stuff - things I remembered were difficult for me to do for Joan. Now I am happy to say that my house is in order. What a
load off my mind. 
Did you know that no one can cancel your telephone, electricity, gas, cable, etc. without having Power of Attorney papers faxed to the utility companies? Why is that? I suppose it's to prevent a person getting back at someone by disconnecting all their utilities.
Got anyone you want to mess with? Here's a way!
