Estates

Things they don't tell you in Executor school -- it's a kindness to the doctors, hairdressers, etc., to cancel the appointments of the deceased. But it's still kind of awkward to do.

I discovered something of this recently when a friend died; I contacted the livejournal people to find out what happens with her account. I couldn't do anything, but I got the instructions to send to her family. cnewsonsmith found out the details for her website and likewise passed them on to the person who can actually do something about it.

Lucky, I guess, that Duncan can access my Yahoo calendar, where there are phone numbers as well as dates and names.

Thanks for this reminder. Hugs.

I assume you've contacted the credit cards? nitnorth found out some useful info about debts, etc., when his ex-wife died. Some stuff about how many cards will cancel accumulating interest, but you need a death certificate, etc.

Oooh, good point on the credit cards. I was still working my way through utilities....

Yes, and the credit cards might also be able to tell you where she was getting her hair done ...
