For someone so determined to live and live well, there's SO MUCH PAPERWORK associated with dying. Jeeeeez.
Beneficiaries of my will are expected to have access to these things. This appointment doesn't have to be done in person, which is nice.
This has been bookmarked in my brain for a while now already.
After you have died:
a person named in the will
a person named in an earlier will as a beneficiary
your surviving spouse, partner, child or stepchild
any former spouse or partner
your parents or guardians
anyone who would be entitled to a share of your estate had you died without a will
a parent or guardian of a child who is named in the will or would be entitled to a share of your estate had you died without a will
a person managing your estate under a guardianship or administration order immediately before your death.
Siiiigh. This sure opens a can of worms. I can legally exclude relatives, but they will get the whole thing (and can presumably harass any beneficiaries named and otherwise try to make a mess of things).
Songs created mostly or entirely by artificial intelligence will be excluded from Australia's official music charts from this Friday.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives a person or an organisation the power to manage your assets and financial affairs while you are alive.
I can preemptively appoint someone. This is a 'sleeping' enduring power of attorney, and kicks in when a medical advisor decides I'm no longer able to manage my financial affairs.
If I don't have one, SACAT will appoint one for me.
Used if I am [temporarily or permanently] considered unable to make my own decisions. Health care refusals are almost universally respected, and "um, no, don't take me to thinly-veiled conversion therapy [etc]" would be wise of me.
Near certain this is slop. Saving to investigate more analytically later.
