It's a job that takes work. We have all of our financial assets arranged so our daughters are equal ultimate beneficiaries. The house has a recored "transfer on death" to them. The cars are transfer on death. We have done everything possible (that I know of) to avoid probate. The grave is paid for. We have each written instructions on how we want our funerals. Our kids are level headed, ones a paralegal. This took time and planning, but all in place now.
To contrast, my Mom was spread out all over financially. Had no will. She reluctantly signed a POA to me. I saw that everything was done right and no one got screwed.
