Things are chaotic in the Middle East right now...I myself should make a will. Good to have the ducks in a row.

Pat
A good reminder. Not a pleasant thing to do though.

Yeah! I need to quit stalling and get that all taken care of. So far, I've only done it by mouth to my sons.

pat you are right about getting it done before you need it. i did mine by myself without telling anyone until i did it. i have told my doctors DNR. i have paid for my cremation. i am leaving the house to my sons. the rest they can figure out. and you will feel lighter when it is done.
everyone knows my feeling about mr trump, but he did the right thing with the help of england and france. to bad it feels like a big show on mr trumps part.

Interesting mixture, present you do.....(Yoda)
Two things..... he had warned Syria to not use the chemical weapons well before the Stormy show, they did it again and in partnership with Britain and France, he did the right thing. Which I might point out certainly didn't please Pooty Poot....which is contrary to the left's previous line that he and Trump were buddies.
Part two....I see a lot of friends going through the same situation with their families. Sadly the majority of the "gatherings" digress toward the negative instead of the positive. Most of the time it is governed by the desire to divvy up your possessions on paper. In case (gasp) you depart before the said task is accomplished. I'm seventy going on 50 (in my mind) and I don't have multiple tiers of relations below me. I have one brother who is 8 years older than I am. So a notarized one-page document will suffice.
You are right to go ahead and get things done, but I'm curious as to whether you will distribute copies of your documents to the interested parties or leave them under the control of your attorney. The latter choice would certainly have a behavioral impact on the parties involved....
