I don't quite understand what you mean by prepared. In order to prepare my family for my death, I also need to prepare my estate, currently valued at $1.50, in order so they are not unduly burdened after I'm gone. These are the only two things that matter to me.

I guess "prepare" here has two meanings. One would be "anticipate"; the other, "put in order." Our heirs anticipate that they will be first in order.
 
We have a place to stay. We just don't have a ride.
