The "good" thing about feeling death around the corner is that you are forced to put your messy life in order and make some succession plan. We are not wealthy, and both in our 60s, but what we have we do not want tossed away or eaten up with taxes, or sold for parts (so to speak). Our children all live in other countries, so it's complicated... But we have an appointment now, with an estate attorney, to get our shit together and answer all those tough, end of life questions we've always put off, so that all we worked for during our lives is not merely wasted... will be of benefit to someone still alive.
