Death, Taxes and Paperwork
By LawrenceDuring this time of grieving to cope with our loss, one thing we never imagine is the amount of paperwork to deal with.
It turns out it is not that easy to handle the final matters for someone in our modern society. There are endless number of calls to make and forms to fill to cancel all kinds of registrations, accounts and records. I was told that many people are overwhelm by the burden that they often choose to abandon the effort to tie these loose ends. Hence all kinds of records are floating around as if those people are not passed away.
Think about it.
How many facebook accounts belong to people who are no longer with us?
How many bank accounts are left with no one to access them at all since World War II?
Interesting questions that someone may have answers to.
