When you find out you are in someones will.

I found out today in a simple explanation. The thought was very deep though. Its not a bad thing, just something new, and very surprising. Don't know how to take it.

The situation is like getting the whole garden when you only know what a seed is.

Scary really.

 

I know that when my parents are gone, everything gets sold and split 4 ways. (me + 3 sibs)

I am not in any random people's wills that I know of.

 

im glad i only have one brother and no sisters. Its much easier...

We know a family currently who is fighting over money. The mother died early from cancer and the father has less than a year to go.

i never thought it would be so fun getting older....

 

My father died without having written a will. The banks pretty well raped and pillaged most of what he had financially, between them and taxes.

I only have one brother as well, so that part was easy. I found the act of taking my father's own money and using it to bury him to be the strangest part. It really shows you what money's really worth in the end. Nothing.

 

Ive been lucky enough to have been left out of wills so far

I prefer to earn what little I own anyways

 

people are dickwads over wills and possessions that they never earned themselves

 

My grandmother took me out of her will a year before she died.

 

i can only assume that when my parents die i'll inherit a lot of debt.

 

You can't inherit unsecured debt - unless you co-signed on them.

 

cool, my parents' death will just fuck over a bunch of creditors then.

 

Yup! That's the fucking they get for the fucking they gave.

 

I know which wills apply to me.

The real surprise is Boog, I get a nail.

 

I think people assume ill try to "encourage" an early death, so they leave me out of their wills

 

Yeah...I was in my grandpa's will. All us grandkids were. We were each supposed to get our share of his collection of clocks. So far my aunt is the only one who has seen any of them. "Safekeeping for when the kids are adults." Yeah...4/5 of us are already in our 20's (or 30's...oh yeah...her son has his share ). My other grandpa didn't have me in his will, but my grandma gave me his prosthetic hand. It's probably one of the coolest things I own, even though my brother broke its neat little grasping function.

 

Those are cool things to inherit...Do you have kung-fu grip?

Go demand your clocks.

 

I think I will, but I might wait until my grandma is no longer with us. I try to lay low and keep out of the family drama for both of my grandmas' sakes. They're both in very good health, but I don't want to stress them into bad health (I have issues with the other side of the family, too). I just hope that when my parents get older, my brother and I work together to make sure things are taken care of, instead of in competition or against each other.

 

wait, are you saying that both your grandmas are on the same side of the family?

this is hot...

 

Undies, I just want you to know that I have written you into my will. You get all my underwear.

 

and i just want hipforums to know, when daisymae dies i probably won't be seen for several months... :leaving:

 

what about being someones power of attorney? what does that count for?
