Some 60% of people say they know very little about death, and they’re almost as likely to get their information about the end of life from movies and TV dramas as they are from medical professionals, according to a new poll by the U.K.-based Academy of Medical Sciences and market research company Ipsos MORI.
There was a time when Hollywood may have gone too far in the other direction, specializing in its own version of “beautiful death” from movies like “Dark Victory” starring Bette Davis to “Love Story,” , starring Ali McGraw and Ryan O’Neal. But as the U.K. Guardian recently noted, movies like “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” and “The Fault in Our Stars” have taken a more unflinching look at a difficult subject.But even convincing the poll participants to talk about death was an uphill battle.
Not all debt is forgiven when a person dies. Avoiding conversations about death can create a financial burden on the loved ones left behind. If someone dies without a will, their assets are distributed based on each state’s “intestate” laws. Some states give all the assets to the surviving spouse, while others distribute money and assets to the spouse and kids.
Not all debt goes away when a person dies. If your friend or loved one does not have enough assets to cover the cost of some debts, creditors can continue to get paid.
