[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is able to talk and is lucid, and he's open to it, take videos. My dad gave my niece a life advice birthday message from the hospital and I video taped him. He died shortly after and I really wish I had a video like that for me or my kids.  I cannot watch it and it took me awhile before I could even listen to it, but I'm so glad it exists because listening to it makes me feel like he's right there by my side still.

Are there any bank accounts or credit cards only in his name, if so, add your wife or MIL now to make the process smoother. Some banks will not even answer the simplest of questions without proper documentation (for example I just wanted to make sure the late payment I had to make on my dad's mortgage had gone through while we figured out logistics and they would not speak to me because even though the will placed me as executor, I needed court documentation which doesn't happen immediately).

This is very true about the accounts with only the one person on it.  It may be unethical but the day my grandmother died I impersonated her to close her outstanding credit card accounts. There were no balances and my mom was the only heir, it saved a lot of paperwork.  Remember that POAs expire upon death so you will be waiting on the estate documentation to do anything otherwise.
