You bring up so many good points, Don. Fortunately, my parents have been very proactive (future funerals planned and paid for) and my father, 12 years younger than my mother, is making decisions for her care without any opposition. I’m guilty of getting sentimentally attached to objects which my parents are eager to get rid of. So, I might be that person hoarding plates and such later!

Thanks for this, Don. I’m dealing with this with my parents. They don’t want to deal with uncomfortable realities and are dragging their feet. I feel like pushing them to get their estate in order makes it seem like I’m thinking only about my inheritance or that I’m eager for them to pass, neither of which is the case.
