Kiddies, a few minutes ago I received an email from Emily Holt of Canton, Ohio. Emily writes: "Dear Grandmother Winsome, my husband of thirty-six years suddenly died Tuesday. He was in charge of our finances, and had all our important documents saved on his computer. I went searching for his password, because I know a mortgage payment and other bills will be due soon, but couldn't find it. Then I remembered that when he set up his new computer, he used a fingerprint scanner to log in. So I have no idea how to access our documents. What should I do?"
Emily, even if the plan was to cremate the body, that likely hasn't yet happened. So you can get access to your husband's finger. But before you barge into the funeral home with a pair of hedge clippers, consider taking the laptop to the body. Be prepared with some lotion to rehydrate that index finger to get a good print. Taking the laptop to the body will work if you only need to access those documents once. But if you expect you'll need to access his computer again, then you'll have to bring that finger home.
