How to Make Your Digital Life Part of Your Estate Plan
Bob Carlson, a contributor on Forbes.com wrote this piece about what people should be thinking about from a “digital asset” perspective. But your digital life should be part of how you approach estate planning.
For example, you may have subscription services that family members may need to cancel and therefore they may have to be given the power to do so without much “fuss.” Try canceling a utility bill for someone else, even with power of attorney…not always easy.
Fortunately, Bob states that the issues around digital estates from a legal perspective are much easier to deal with now, but sitting with your attorney and discussing these things is something you need to consider.

This piece in mychesko.com illustrates some of the things that many caregivers may neglect to mention as sources of stress as the holidays come. Caregiving is a stressor in and of itself, but imagine now that you are being asked to still fulfill those duties while also being tasked with spending the appropriate time with family, maintaining traditions, etc.
If you are attending a holiday meal or get together with family, AND your family member who is taking care of someone AND putting together the meal, ask yourself what you can do to help lighten the load. Then as you branch out from that, ask yourself what you might be able to do to lighten the load at other points throughout the year…even if you are long distance, you might be able to hire a maid service to do some cleaning for a loved one for a day, or you may be able to have some meals delivered, etc. And of course, any respite you can provide is also a godsend.
