Great advice Karen. Another thing I just thought of.
My family have no idea who my friends are. I've included a list of people whom I want contacted in the event of my death. The list includes phone numbers and email addresses. I would hate to think that one of my best friends out of town is left out of the loop.
Also, do you wish to be an Organ Donor?? Put that down too and inform all your family and friends of your wishes.
It's funny but earlier on last week I was talking to my boss about this very subject. Her father passed away of cancer about 3 years ago and he kept a journal. In the journal it detailed just who was to do what and where everything was to take place. Who was to contact the location, who was to organize the music, what music he wanted played, who was look after food, who was to look after the booze....honestly...right down to every detail. She said it made it so much easier on the family. I just might take a page out his journal.....
Sorry, this is really getting away from the subject but since this is your first Will (I presume) there is alot to think about.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
