[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could also be handled in the will by stating the family member who will be responsible for these tasks.  It is very difficult to come to agreement on every little detail, so given so much has been preplanned designating the person who should carry out the plan would be easy. This person could ask for as much support/input as they are comfortable with.  This could be someone different than the executor.  [/quote]

Wills are no place for final instructions. They typically don’t even get looked at until after the funeral.

The dying person, if possible, or their POA, can finalize the plan. You can ask the funeral director for help. You can hire a lawyer and/or mediator to be the intermediary. Given the chaos-driven personality you describe, however, you may need to consider the possibility that (1) the problem person won’t be able to be meaningfully included in the planning; (2) whatever they agree to at any point they will simply change their mind on again and again, just for the chaos; (3) they are more likely than not to make a scene, or multiple scenes; and (4) it may be prudent to hire off duty police to attend and remove the problem person if necessary.[/quote]
