End-of-life arrangements –
everything arranged for your loved ones
Where are your important documents? Who inherits what? Which powers of attorney are valid? Your arrangements give your loved ones clear guidance in a difficult moment.
A guide for your loved ones
End-of-life arrangements are not a single legal document, but a personal folder in which you collect all the important information that your loved ones will need in the event of your death.
This includes information about insurance policies, bank accounts, contracts, assets, debts and much more. The more complete your arrangements, the less your loved ones will have to search for themselves in stressful situations.
Complement to your will: End-of-life arrangements complement your will. The will legally regulates who inherits what. The arrangements provide the practical information needed to implement these provisions.
How to create my arrangements
Collect important documents
Start by making an inventory of your insurance policies, bank accounts, assets, debts, rental agreements, subscriptions and other important commitments.
Write the arrangements
Note where important documents are kept, who should be informed in the event of death and what wishes you have for the administration of your estate.
Write or update your will
A will must be fully handwritten, dated and signed. If you own real estate or wish to deviate from statutory provisions, consult a notary.
Inform trusted people
Tell one or two trusted people where your arrangements are kept. This could be your partner, your children or the trusted person named in your advance care directive.
Your personal folder
Relieving your loved ones in grief
Searching for important documents, calling insurance companies and banks, cancelling contracts – all of this coincides with grief. Your end-of-life arrangements turn potential chaos into a clear, manageable process.
