When a person dies, several practical or bureaucratic tasks are required. Dealing with these can be emotionally challenging. Planning for or anticipating such practical and bureaucratic issues, may alleviate some of the emotional and practical burdens of those who survive you. 

You may consider taking advice with lawyers, solicitors, or probate specialists to help address these complex issues. However, there are other types of questions, which, although they seem to be simple to solve, can escape us when we find ourselves in such a dark and painful time as the death of a loved one.
