easy to do as you well know, more than many people realize. My younger brother's estate was settled in NYC and thankfully he had prepared in advance.

A woman friend died several years ago from pneumonia, at a rather young age. We hadn't been in touch and I'm not certain, but I think because she lacked health ins. from her job there was a delay, or problem with treatment.

Afterwards her husband, an introverted, younger man was overwhelmed with all her stuff- a clotheshorse and antiques collector- but I imagine his brothers and her friends helped. That was a shock.

Nieces and gifts go together; enjoy your time travelling or whatever, life is to be lived if we can, as they say!
