Shelia gave you a good list and I am going to add one more minor thing that will help whomever is left behind to take care of things....
get rid of your shit. LOL
I was responsible for cleaning up my mother-in-law's house since I was close and retired. She was a neat person, not a hoarder at all, and yet the drawers and closets and bathroom and shelves were cram-packed with junk. I filled two large trashbags with half used beauty products and that was just in one bathroom.

You have a lot of years left, so this is just a suggestion for later on.
