Dear JD- Not sure whether this is beyond the scope of your inquiry, but you may want to include a section addressing long-term illness issues, such as powers of attorney for health care decisions, (there is a special form in FLorida for this) and the extent of health insurance. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, many assets can legitimately pass outside of probate by way of rights of survivorship. Good luck in organizing this material!

Thanks for letting us know there is a special form in Florida. People need to know those things.

I recently found out that the EMT guys in the ambulances cannot honor a living will in Kentucky. They have their own special form that must be signed and notarized...otherwise they are required by law to try to keep you alive enroute to the hospital. I learned this from working with Hospice.
