As I often say to my clients; the only good surprises are the ones you receive on your birthday.
Talk to your family about your estate so everyone knows 1) what people's job is and if they are willing and able to do that; 2) that it's okay for them to spend some money to get it done properly.
One of the best gifts you can give your kids is a smooth estate administration process. It's a difficult enough time as is.
