9 LETTER OF INSTRUCTION Date: Created by: This Letter of Instruction is divided into two sections: 1. If I become incapacitated. 2. If I have died. SECTION 1: IF I BECOME INCAPACITATED 1. Gather all current fixed expenses, i.e. mortgage, rent, utilities, automotive obligations (loan/lease/insurance) and medical insurance, communication, educational/professional loans. Pay the bills that are still applicable. Be sure to discontinue all fixed expenses that are no longer warranted, and determine if any medical insurance includes premium waivers in the event of incapacitation. If it is determined that I will not be moving back into my house, or able to drive my automobile, consider selling those assets. 2. If I am under the care of a private medical practitioner, it is imperative that the following are executed: Take an inventory of all my personal effects, i.e. jewelry, cash and other valuables, to avoid any abuse that could take place while I m incapacitated. Establish a clear plan of care and costs for that care. Determine what medical insurance will and will not pay for. This Letter of Instruction is a critical document for those who you have instructed and asked to represent you in the event of your untimely death or incapacitation. When the time comes, this document should be used to help answer any outstanding questions and provide additional insight as to the spirit in which you would like to have your wishes carried out. The recipient(s) of this letter should understand that you are relying on them to execute their duties according to your wishes. The contents of this entire Document Locator & Letter of Instruction booklet are designed to help minimize uncertainties. Your personal wishes can be spelled out in the Five Wishes booklet to help your family and survivors understand the manner in which you wish to be cared for and what is important to you during this phase of your life in the event that you become incapacitated. Contact your Ken Stern & Associates advisor for a copy of this additional key document. Obtain proof that the medical professionals are bonded, licensed and are easy to communicate with. Cancel all automatic bill payments that may have been in effect. 3. Meet with my advisory team (Power Players), including trustees, money manager, attorney, accountant, etc. Be sure to discuss strategic changes with regard to asset rebalancing, tax returns or legal documents. 4. Review all financial institutions listed in my Document Locator. Provide my Advance Health Care Directive and Financial Power of Attorney documents to my agent(s) in fact and legal counsel. 8
10 SECTION 2: IF I HAVE DIED Making your final arrangements while you are still of sound mind and body helps to ensure that your wishes are adequately documented and will be properly carried out. As you can see, there are many aspects and details of your final arrangements to consider. Prior to completing this section, discuss the options with your family. You may find inspiration in the final arrangements of a close friend or family member. Additional instructions you may want to include would be donating your body or organs, the care of any pets you may leave behind, and any pre-paid financial plan you may have for your arrangements. Please ensure that this Letter of Instruction is given to my trustee. Although they should have complete trustee instructions, they can still use this as a guide. 1. Upon my death, I would like the following individuals to be notified: (attach separate list as needed) 2. My burial instructions are as follows: r I WANT MY BODY BURIED Phone Number Phone Number Phone Number Phone Number r Open Casket r Closed Casket Mortuary/Funeral Home Clothes I Wish to Wear r I want my body cremated Mortuary/Cremation Facility Ashes to be: r Scattered on Land or Water r Buried/Stored Above Ground r Kept with Family or Friend Describe other wishes: (i.e., embalming, pre-cremation, container for ashes) Funeral or memorial Service Church or Synogogue / Location Pall Bearers Music Readings / Prayers / Poems / Letters Military Honors Cemetary / Location Burial Site Section / Plot No. / Grave No. (if purchased in advance) Epitaph Burial Marker Obituary Other Wishes 9
11 3. Carefully verify every expense that presents itself. Unfortunately, some of these may be sent from scam artists or sent in error, so be sure to verify each one. Among the list of expenses to discontinue are: all leases, rent, domestic help, and outstanding contracts. 4. Make sure you go through my mail thoroughly. After a while, solicitations may all begin to look like form letters. However, keep in mind that one may be a check from an insurance company or other legitimate source. 5. Consult counsel to determine what other documents may be required, including, but not limited to, marriage certificates, affidavits of domicile, and death certificates. There are legal considerations to take into account when planning and executing your final arrangements. Doing research in advance, understanding pertinent laws and regulations, and consulting an attorney can help you avoid many obstacles that might impede your survivors from carrying out your exact wishes. 6. Use the Document Locator section of this booklet to marshall all of the assets. Value all assets as of the date of death. 7. File insurance claims. Refer to the Document Locator for information on all accounts and policies. 8. Review all beneficiaries of my assets. Each account may differ. 9. Notify all government agencies of my death: Post Office, Social Security ( ), Medicare, etc. 10. I have made a gift declaration as part of my succession planning. Paperwork can be found in the following location:. Please commence distributing these gifts to the respective people after receiving authorization from legal and tax counsel. 11.
