Why do not people write wills???

This probate sh!t is a king sized PIA with my mother-in-laws estate

Total nightmare. Love my mother but omg, write a will! 

Exactly why we ALL have to have a plan...to the bitter end ....

My first boss ( a lawyer, no less ) was superstitious about making a will because he thought once he did, he'd die. An extremely intelligent, nice man, but he couldn't shake that feeling. Strange.

a will admits mortality and the eventual end of life in a body it also represent age. some do not like to admit they are growing and being old is insulting to many women and death is fear to most.... so to put in writing a will is a way  to recognize how old one has become. how far away their youth is.

Well, fukk it, I got my sh!t together;

Including explicit directions to wifey to inform the Covers General Discussion forum.

Great, I'm the executor of both my parents as well as my uncle/aunt.  I guess it's not good to be the "responsible one" and that I chose accountancy as my profession.  

I offered Wells Fargo a more than appropriate CASH offer and theses fukkers are playing hardball  Unreal these corporate fukks  You'd think they would just roll over and die  Offer now withdrawn  Transferred to another corporate department  Come and take the property  I can play hardball too  And you wonder why I hate these corporate fukks?

wells fargo is the worst... they had to pay so many law suits for violations of laws... and still they just do not get it.... hope the break that fnn bank.... they should be liquidated and absolved of ever running a mortgage bank the execs deserve to be in danbury for life.... in my humble opinion.

I told my youngest brother to play two songs at my funeral but haven't given much thought to anything else.

Sounds like a nightmare, but I appreciate you not sugar-coating it.  

Yes, great post by Goggles. Makes you open your eyes. See things from a very different perspective. My father is 90 years old. Everybody was telling me to get "power of attorney". Blah blah blah. Then an attorney friend was discussing this and says, "wait a minute here", you've got a will in place just leave it alone. The only thing that power of attorney does is make you legally responsibable for everything the State wants done their own way. Makes you have to account for every penny you spend. Every breath you breathe. FTS.

Hey GG..this is a VERY IMPORTANT thread for ALL of us degenerates here on this sensitive subject...

I had a friend that passed from a heart attack (Stress induced) at 45 last month. Great all around dude and was in good shape and very active.

He had a thriving artificial turf business here in LA. Multiple out of state investment properties with lots of valuable personal property i.e. small vintage yacht he was refurbishing, several high end vehicles and racing motor cycles all paid for and flush with cash.

In January he had a baby with his fiance and I sold him their "forever home", a 1.5 million house he paid cash for in the same week.

He had so many irons in the fire and never rested for a second, whether work or play. When he had free time he was racing motocross at a high level.

They were going to get married soon and that's when he told me he was planning to slow down a bit and start enjoying things with the new family. He never got the chance.

I was surprised there was no will because he was very detailed about everything particularly business and finances.

For whatever reason his family has cut off his fiance so her friends had to set up a gofundme so she can hang on until it all goes through probate. It will get messy since they were not married. I know he would have wanted his fiance and kid to be well taken care of but the family seems to think otherwise.

Moral of the story: It is never too early not to draw up a will no matter how young you are.

I'd be careful with that thinking around these parts. Some dipchit might read your post and call you a dipchit.

Tax and personal reasons is way I created my will a year ago.
