We did wills a couple of years ago. We need to make a few changes since Melissa's married and a few things have changed with regard to the company. We haven't done a trust, yet. Not sure it's time for that. It's not an easy thing to do, but so much kinder for the ones we leave behind. We want to preplan and prepay for our funerals, too. My parents did that for us and it was so nice when they passed. We knew exactly what they wanted and how they wanted things done.
You are being very thoughtful, Gayle.

We have to do a trust because I own part of the original farm in Oklahoma that my grandparents bought. It must go to my daughter, even if I die before my husband. It's not that I don't want him to have it, it's just that it must stay within my original family. He would not sell it to the highest bidder, but his sons would when he dies. So, we have to do the trust since I have property that is separate from the community property with him. At least this is what the attorney said would be the best. It was way more expensive that a plain old will - which of course, we have also. I'm sure it is all worth it - but it sure is a pain in the pahtoot to wade through all the legaleze.

I don't even like dealing with insurance policies, so I know I'd bum out on making a will. We haven't done any of that and I'm not sure we ever will with the procrastinator I'm married to. He says we don't need to do anything with beneficiaries set up on everything.

We haven't done anything yet either and really need to. I want to make sure Ricky gets everything and doesn't have to pay a lot in taxes because of it. Not sure if that is a trust or not, but we need to be checking it out.

We have been talking about doing those exact things. Our lawyer died a couple of months ago, so we have to decide on someone else. It's so important that people do all of the medical POA's, along with a will. I'm glad you got yours done, but it IS enough to give you a headache

Betsi,
We've been putting it off for five years!!! With our husband's health, you and I really need to make this happen. People encouraged me for years to do it, but it took this long!!! So I know how hard it is to take that step! Anyway, I hope you choose another attorney and get it done soon.

We haven't done anything yet either. We really need to and we've talked about it for years! I think that I'll bring it up again.
