[quote=Anonymous]Both my parents and my ILs have done pretty extensive estate planning and have let us know their wishes and where their relevant documents are located. My MIL was just telling me how they had recently gone to their local funeral home and picked out coffins etc. She didn't want DH and his siblings wasting money on the expensive selections. My FIL has also already written his obituary. My parents recently asked me to meet with their financial adviser so I understand all their accounts and plans. I'm an only child so no sibling tensions there. While I was there we all signed a POA paperwork to keep on file so that its there if I ever need it. The financial adviser said that was the most important thing to do at this point (my parents are mid-70s and in ok health). I think if you have parents who are unwilling to talk about it it's because their afraid and unprepared. They may not want to admit they don't have a will or any kind of plan. [/quote]
