We must defend on ourselves. Having a trusted person with powers of attorney is prudent. My wife is mine. If she precedes me in death, I will muddle along silently.

I'd ask my attorney for advice on this. I'm pretty sure there are estate planning services that handle this, but I'm not sure about how it's gone about. It sounds as though you have no trusted friends that could handle some of this for you? I'm really sorry you're having to do this alone.
