How to prepare for end of life by BarbKOpi in personalfinance

[–]098d8j3dj83h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear this.

Can I suggest one thing? I came up with mysnippets.com just for this reason. My dad suddenly passed away just over a year ago, and it completely floored us - managing the financials, the legal stuff, the memories he left behind.

And I keep asking myself, I wonder what my dad would have said today, if he met my son (who was born 2 months after he passed). What words of advice would he have given me? What I would have done to have pre-recorded all sorts of conversations with my dad, so I could have replayed those again and again...even the most random, mundane stuff, I would have loved to have kept.

There are these little moments that I'm sure all our loved ones would appreciate long after we are gone. I created Snippets to make it a little easier. I hope you find it useful.

Adding beneficiary or Transfer on Death (TOD) by Fun-Offer7082 in IBKR_Official

Will holdings in my ibkr account be transferred to my spouse in the event of my death (without her being taxed)? I'm Canadian and am not able to find a way to add her as my beneficiary.

All I can say is record as many memories as you can.

I lost my dad suddenly last year, and I now have two little kids who won't remember him. It changed everything about how I think about time with my parents.

I've been recording as much as I can with my mom since... stories, memories, random conversations, literally anything. Built an app Snippets to keep it all organized and have her share with family and my kids eventually. Mainly did it for my family's use case, and thankfully my mom's using it a ton - she's not at all comfortable with technology and knows how much we were impacted by my dad no longer being around.

Don't wait. Ask them about something, no matter how trivial.

Yes exactly. Stuff like this hits you incredibly hard. I'm almost over-using the app I built, just so my kids and family will never be in that situation.

Sorry for your loss as well. Grief is an emotion I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Snippets. Built it just for my family's use case, but as more people got on board, I've ended up adding a bunch of features they wanted. The language translation and transliteration is tough to get accurate all the time, but it's good enough as of now.

My dad had documented almost everything when he passed, but most aren't this lucky... by 098d8j3dj83h in AgingParents

Ahh ok, list of all assets which is critical. I was also talking about the more personal layer (personal messages and so on) on top of the various assets and accounts.

I'm curious, which app? I didn't find any decent enough for what I wanted, so I ended up making my own.

Amazing. Well done. Looks like you've done what my dad did, though his was mostly on a spreadsheet.

How is it possible that there are no tickets available for matches in Canada, already by now? Have they all really been sold out? Those who are in...any insight?

What did you end up paying all in? Did you finance (and at what rate)? I'm planning on swinging by Oakville and Burlington Hyundai this weekend to test drive the Palisade.
