Obviously, this is a very morbid topic but I do think it's a sensible one. By clicking this thread you should have been prepared anyway. Next year I'll finally have surgery to "cure" me of my temporal lobe epilepsy after waiting many years. The chance I'll either die or be incapacitated is very low, but then again so was my epilepsy. I might only be twenty-eight but the odds of dying from SUDEP is much higher for young adults.
I know a lot of people would write this idea off as "over the top" or that I'm taking things too seriously, but when people write wills I believe the odds of them dying in the next year (unless written because of a terminal illness) are lower than somebody with epilepsy (or having the surgery and SUDEP risk, but don't quote me on stats) so I think this is a perfectly reasonable thing for even somebody my age to do.
I don't have a lot of money, but my valuables are enough to clear any debts with some extra cash for my parents. I'd also like to pass any online assets and access to those (yet to be determined, but there are a few I know) who may be interested in continuing the websites I own. Fortunately in the UK there are some free will-writing services for those with disabilities. The same might be available to those in other countries.
If you've done this, how was your experience? Was it quite an easy thing to do? Did you choose to have some of the money sent to epilepsy charities? (I might do that for some of it, but there won't be much.)
