Can a pre-arrangement be changed after I die?

• A. No
• B. Yes, by the legal representative
• C. Only with the original arranger's consent
• D. Only if a court approves

Answer: (B)

After death, the authority to adjust a pre-arrangement rests with the deceased’s legal representative—the executor or administrator of the estate. This person manages the decedent’s affairs and, within the contract terms and applicable law, can modify services, reallocate funds, or update arrangements to reflect the decedent’s wishes or changing circumstances. The original arranger’s consent isn’t required because they are no longer alive, and the power of attorney ends at death. Court approval is generally unnecessary for routine changes, unless a dispute or specific legal issue arises that requires court intervention.
