I will be fish food.

 

Words of advice. Make sure you have all your T's crossed and I's dotted with wills, trusts, and any life insurance or investments. ESPECIALLY if you have family that doesn't get along.

 

Have you thought of a jon boat casket? ?

Sound advice indeed, but It ain’t your problem anymore after you check out.  Families members that fight over assets is a tale nearly as old as time, it’s just silly no matter how you slice it

Agreed, when I'm dead I'm dead. I've lived thru the arguments.

 

My mother asked maybe 10 or 15 years ago. "What do you want" when I die. She passed not quite 2 years ago. Dad is still alive. My response to her at that time was "I don't want anyone involved but my siblings" in how everything is distributed. No spouses or other extended family members. My mother and father had already decided that dad was going to go first. Well, dad is still here. When mom passed, dad updated the will and trust. It prompted me to do the same. I just don't want the state to get involved. Really don't give a crap who gets my fishing stuff. LOL

I guess I’ll take on the burden of your fishing stuff then, to relieve your family of it. The least I can do for you Paul.

I'm 42 years old and don't really plan on dying anytime soon. However, you just never know. Have you thought about how you want your death to be handled by those who are expected to deal with it? I have. In fact, I just spoke with my Mom and wife lately and told them that when I die, I want to be cremated and spread out on the land that my family has owned for almost a hundred years. No funeral, no visitation, no celebration of life, nothing. Once I'm dead, just move on with your life. I know this is probably going against the norm, but I have a real hard time dealing with death and funerals. The last funeral I went to was 17 years ago when one of my best friends was killed in a car wreck. We had so many good times together, but when I think about him, all I can think about is his funeral and him laying in his coffin. The days leading up to a funeral are so hard on the family and then the day of the funeral is even worse. I know people grieve in different ways, but I just want to be disintegrated and spread about. 

 

Does anyone else have a plan?

 

BTW, my wife and Mom probably wouldn't do as I wish. LOL

 

 

I have and I have requested something very similar if I some how out live my parents. I want to be cremated and have my ashes spread at sea on the local reefs I grew up surfing (and later) fishing with my father. Just my folks in the skiff, non one else. No funeral, no celebration of life, etc.

The reality is, I got all my grandfathers, fishing stuff and my aunts fishing stuff. Much of which got tossed. I will be the recipient of all my fathers fishing stuff. Most will probably get donated or tossed There's a lot of fishing stuff to be had, most of which I have no need for.

I hear ya. 
 

How about your book of dad jokes? ?

As far as I'm concerned,  my wishes for funeral and remains means very little.  I'm fine with whatever my wife wants to do. (I strongly believe she will outlive me.)

  As to spreading ashes in a lake, let your loved ones know to pick an extremely calm day.  Trust me on this one.  Also, if you pick a spot with clear-ish water and a rocky bottom, it is pretty cool because they can see you for a long time if/when they come to visit.....cremains are a lot more sandy than than you'd think.

What do you mean?

[VolFan]

Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand…

 

then dump me overboard. I’ll be fine!

 

[MN Fisher]

Simple plans for me.

Cremate me and scatter me to the four-winds.

 

If the wife is still alive - she gets everything.

If she's preceded me, I don't have anyone else to pass things on to - so sell it all and donate the entire sum to certain charities.

[Bluebasser86]

I'm an organ donor and spread my ashes across a lake somewhere, don't really care which one. This is always a morbid joking topic with my coworkers, but it's also semi-serious when you carry a gun to work. 

[Skunkmaster-k]

Just grind me up and mix me with some molasses, shad guts and cattail fluff to hold me together. I think I’d make a great dough bait. 

[FishTank]

I turn 50 this year so I have had some  thoughts about it....

 

I want a natural burial with a tree I can feed planted on grave. And this played at my funeral....

Anyone here worried that before you die you may be sent to a nursing home to live out your remaining time? If you dont have nursing home insurance the state will take all your assets by law to pay for it.

 

Nursing homes are charging by state law here in north dakota $12,000.00 a month.

If you are wheelchair bound they can charge more and if you have alztimers or dimentia they charge more yet because you are considered high maintainence special needs type person.

 

 The day you end up in a home and are unable to pay for the care the state will go back 5 years to check and see if any large amounts of money or assets you owned was given to familly members including wife, friends.....

 

Assets include 401k, stocks, ira,s, bank accounts, house, boats, cars. If your assets are in a irrevocable trust they will and can take all of it.

If they find any money, property, assets given away inside the 5 years of the day you were admitted they will come and claim it from whomever has it.

 

The state knows that you will try to hide and protect your assets. Its what any person with familly would do.

The only free ride you will get from the state is if you are 100% broke. You are only allowed to own $2000.00 and 1 car by law. Then the state will pay for the cost of your nursing home stay for however long you live.

Not particularly.   I don't plan on taking any of it with me

If I go to a nursing home and successfully hide my assets....who SHOULD pay for my care?  The state?  That means you.  Is that better than what you describe?

huh, what? If you end up at a home and dont die like you thought or hoped to your assets will be clawed back within the 5 year period.

If you know of a way to successfully hide your assets please tell me so i can let my 90 year old father know.

[Choporoz]

I apologize for my insensitivity.   Didn't read between the lines to your personal angle.  Sorry for your family troubles.   I still question though.....who should pay, if not the care recipient?

Thanks for your kindness. My dad at 90 has nursing home insurance he bought 12 years ago. He is covered for $8800.00 a month. Well short of the no special needs cost of $12,000.00 per month.

 

I learned alot about this because he fell and spent 20 days in a nursing home and i had to take care of all the paperwork and all things nursing home.

 

One thing that saved him was medicare pays 100% of nursing home care for the first 20 days. After that he would have had to use his ins and the first 3 months the darn care ins doesnt even pay a penny, they call it a co-pay haha.

10-4. Same story when you drive a 40 ton bomb for a living. Over a 100yd drop off the left side of that turn. I crawled down that sucker at 3mph in 1st that day. Seat belt off so I could bail if needed. Pucker factor? You couldn't have hammered a pin up my butt with a sledgehammer!!! LOL Thanks for your service Bluebasser. You are appreciated brother.

[Bankbeater]

After both of my parents passed it was a double edged sword for me.  Not having any siblings I didn't have the worry about the family infighting that sometimes takes place, but it took me almost 2-1/2 years to get their estate cleaned up and sold.
