Of course. Plus make other arrangements too. Not just for death, also for unfortunate circumstances where you can’t make informed decisions even when alive. E.g. Dementia, when unconscious, etc.

I think she’s referring to the person assigned as ‘Power of Attorney’ in this context. Next of Kin, and Power of attorney are two different status, but both are necessities.
