I know that this thread is about money handling at your death, but everyone should have a plan for his/her health care when/if s/he is unable to make decisions. If you haven't already done it, a discussion with your physician & wife (& any others you want involved) about your desires for (& extent of) health care if you should become mentally incapable of making medical decisions for yourself prior to your death is extremely important.
The decisions you make can (and should, IMHO) be made into a document known as a"living will" or "durable power of attorney for health care" by an attorney. At the very least, your designated decision maker should know your desires.
