Slim - I found out today (to my shock) that the I'm the primary beneficiary; and I'd hand it all back to have this person around for longer... However, that's out of my control now & I'm doing my best not to think too much about it.
so back to the practical issues:
It's 'ready' cash that would be the problem.
iwantmore, I'm not sure I understand? Are you saying the undertakers would cover all the costs of the funeral until the property is sold?
I can't imagine they cover the funeral meal/priest/parish costs etc.,?
There will be medical things as well I would guess, VHI will cover most but not all.
Phone, ESB all that good stuff will have to be sorted also, though I suppose they can wait.
I've never had to organise this before so I'm not sure how it works.
Edit: thanks vanilla - I posted the above before I saw your reply. What you say makes sense now. Don't know if there will be sufficient in her a/c but we'll have to wait & see.
