Could your partner handle taking care of things you've left behind?
If your partner goes first, then you, do you have someone to care for your pets?

I have fish, and I worry about them being relocated to good homes. The reason I don't have dogs is because I don't have anyone who could care for them if I went first.

These things are important, we should all be thinking about what impact our deaths would have on the people we care about.
