stellar_muddleIt could just be a sign of getting older.. or just observation of various things going on around me and recent events. And the fact a lot of the stats I deal with are around sudden death.
So, in NZ, what is legally required when you die?
Found a basic overview here (took a little while of googling though):
NZ Citizen's Advice Bureau pdf on Dealing with Death
Wondering about wills and stuff. Is it worth going via Public Trust? Cheaper elsewhere? How much does the amount of assets etc affect things? - various amounts in banks and superannuation funds either side of the ditch spring to mind.
I favour cremation with donation of any organs that are useful - if any bits of me that I no longer need can save someone's life or improve their quality of life, then go for it. And I think I would like some of my ashes scattered at the top of Mount John. No other ideas so far. Maybe a tree and a seat somewhere?
Cause I am not planning on dying any time soon. I quite like life, thank you. But starting to set things up just in case would probably be sensible.
