I am NOT wealthy by any means, but I would like what tiny amount I have saved to make its way to my family such that my death is a blessing rather than curse. I don't have the wits or time about me to plot some sophisticated insurance scheme, way too late for that, I'd have to be living a long healthy life from here for insurance to be viable.
So far the only things I know to do are:
1. Get a pre-need for funeral services (i.e. pre-pay cremation).
2. Set up all financial accounts for transfer-on-death, name beneficiaries and all ahead of time. Also, consolidate and simplify accounts where possible.
3. Sell or donate as much of my crap as possible.
4. Last Will and Testament to account for anything else.
I am starting work on these action items this coming week. Fortunately as a veteran I am able to possibly get some help with the funeral pre-need and will (USA).
However my options for dying are leaning towards (in order):
1. Travel to Peru for N
2. Jumping, hopefully under the influence of a lethal cocktail simultaneously (need to plan carefully)
3. Firearm (any suggestions to contain the mess from shotgun? like lying outside on a giant stack of shower curtains or something?)
I will inquire when seeking funeral pre-need arrangements about deaths overseas. But still, I worry that it will either be prohibitively expensive to pre-pay for something like that, or that there will be god knows what kind of paperwork or legal nightmare in store for family. From what I understand a US embassy or consulate will help with some aspects, but I'd like to facilitate that process with minimal cost.
People dying overseas, by suicide or not, is surely not too uncommon. Has anyone had any direct experience with this? Were there heavy costs and burdens?
For method two, the places I find most appealing for a jump are likely to be in national parks or public lands or infrastructure (don't want to spoil exactly where I have in mind).
For example when someone jumps from the Golden Gate Bridge, they often send out a rescue boat crew and that sort of thing. If jumping in a national park I can imagine them making a big expensive phony show of care with a helicopter rescue/body retrieval. Are families charged money for this sort of thing? How to minimize this possibility? Even if they don't charge my family, would they simply steal what little savings I have to cover part of it, such that my family gets nothing?
I guess the third method would be the cheapest but I think most difficult for me (cowardice, any recommended drugs to help?) and possibly my family just from the brutality aspect, but I guess that will be the cheapest.
Any other thoughts about making it easier on family, financially or otherwise, please share. Thank you.
