I am showing my grandson all the things I do monthly so that in the event of my passing he can take over. Here is a list of the things I do for my family each month: I pay our rent, power bill, and cable. I set up transportation for them( grandson and daughter) for their med check appointments each month. I set up our groceries to be delivered every two weeks now. I also communicate, when needed, with Housing and do our yearly recertification paperwork. I keep track of chores that need to be done and get with either my daughter or grandson to get them done. She has to be reminded because she has a learning disability and doesn't retain things. I am my daughter's payee so I also keep track of her money online and transfer her money into my account off and on so I can pay her bills. We used to have another account which she had a debit card for so she would have spending money put in there but someone kept hacking into it and we finally closed out her debit card and just used that for one of her bills. I am the one who reminds them both of things. Keeping things on the up and up with Housing, etc.. It can be quite a hassle at times and I hope they do okay after I am gone. I remind them of day-to-day things as well. I also will let him know about the sites I frequent online and perhaps may have a little money in. He is quick and smart and should be able to manipulate through for gift cards with the points I keep accumulating. That is all stuff they will find convenient to use what has accumulated after I am gone. But this new Discord account is for us to communicate here in the house. I am upstairs in my room and they are downstairs. He is often online with his headphones on and can't hear me and my daughter is often outside on the front porch and never seems to have her phone on. He has the discord account open all the time communicating with other gamers and I can message him if I need something. It sure is nice. I feel good about letting him know how to do these things. He will have a lot on his plate but he will have to do it. My daughter can't/won't do much. Do you have things like this set up so you can communicate with members of the family when they are in another part of the house? It works great for us.

Sounds like you are getting them ready. I have not organized things for after. We just shout or go find each other.

I don't go downstairs so it's nice to have a way to communicate. If they go into the kitchen they can't hear me.

We use Messenger Chat sometimes. Especially when one of us is outside in the yard. My husband is hard of hearing so when I go out and yell for him he doesn't hear me so the Messenger Chat on phones work well for us. I hope your grandson remembers all that you are teaching him. Are you putting it all in writing, as well? Maybe a notebook with everything together?

@celticeagle Yes, if volume is up on the phone. My husband is not on Facebook anymore either. It was annoying to him In writing will be a good back-up for him!

My grandson isn't on Facebook though. Does it sound off when there is a message? I hope he remembers it too. I think he will be aware of the different sites and he can figure the rest out. Yes, I have it in writing too.

My daughter used to use discord with her boyfriend all the time a few years ago. I’m not sure if she still uses it or not. Are you dying is that why you are setting all this up or do you just want them to be prepared in case?

I am surprised you do so many things for your daughter and grandchildren. I hope your grandson learns to take up some responsibility.

He needs to. I hope that with his psychological issues, he can do it all.

Since I don’t work outside the home I have always paid the bills, taken care of getting taxes done, set up appointments and scheduled anything that needs to be done, but I occasionally go over things with my husband and son so they know what to do.

You are the backbone of your household. I hope your grandson can take the reins with little trouble when you pass. I hope it won't be for a long time.
