People are being advised to create an end-of-life "to-do list" containing 25 essential items to sort out while they are still alive. This preparatory checklist helps ensure that family members are aware of an individual's final wishes and know how to locate critical documents, accounts, and personal information.

The guidance highlights the importance of organizing key details such as wills, digital passwords, bank accounts, and active subscriptions ahead of time. Establishing these records is intended to alleviate unnecessary stress and uncertainty for loved ones, regardless of whether a person's passing occurs expectedly or suddenly.
