Where There's a Will....

What a week!

As you know, I've finished the tax torture.

I'm still working on the shoes.

And tomorrow we go to an attorney and update our wills.

We haven't had a new will since Daughter was a wee babe, and she is now a twenty-two year old babe.

No longer in need of a legal guardian (legally, at least), we need to get busy and update stuff before we croak.

We aren't getting any younger, you know.

It's  not too difficult since we only have one child, unless there are specific things we want to leave someone else, say a nephew or a niece. And even that's  not hard, it's just getting it done.

Then there is the what-if-we-all-three-get-killed-at-the-same-time scenario. Who gets what then? I have one niece and one nephew, but Husband has forty-eleven of 'em. How do you do that fairly?

And what about siblings? We each have two. Do we leave it to them and let them distribute our vast wealth? (snicker).  They can't do anything to us in retaliation if we are already dead.

Death is complicated! Just think, what if we really were rich? We don't have much stuff that is worth anything, but boy we do have stuff.

Maybe we'll just leave it all to the cats.

It happens, you know.
