Re: your wills. Don't forget to create / update your health proxies and power of attorney documents as well. Those will be the people whom you choose to help you and make decisions for you if you are unable to.
In today's world, everything's online. The legal world is finally starting to catch up with the digital world in this area with something called RUFADAA, Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act. Here's a place to start with: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/ufadaa.html
Talk with your attorney to make sure those documents give them and your executor(s) the legal right to access your digital accounts for health records and financial data, as appropriate. If you want your executor to have maximum access to your digital assets (and not everyone does), go beyond giving permission in your will or power of attorney. In addition, leave your executor or agent information and instructions about how to access your accounts and files. That way, your executor will have the same ability to access your accounts as you have. This is the easiest and most sure way to make sure that your executor can wrap up your digital legacy.
Those butter cookies, in their blue tin! Just the best!
For bean recipes- I’m a fan of sweet potato and black bean “nachos.” Here’s a recipe for inspiration (I drizzle mine with a little ranch dressing... which doesn’t necessarily fit with the “less processed stuff” part of your goal, but is delicious 😂) https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/loaded-sweet-potato-nachos/
I look forward to your goals post every year!!! Thanks so much for sharing these intentional and really creative plans. And for your optimism, too. You got me excited about planning out 2024 with more specificity.
We need to write our wills, too! Every week I find myself adding it to yet another to-do list and yet never doing it. Hopefully it's much easier than I think it'll be!
