Last Will and Testament

[Ishmael]

Made yours out yet?

Finalized mine today. Stupid not to have done it sooner, but it's really an admission that you're a mere mortal and that's a bitter pill to swallow.

Had one for about fifteen years.

 

[MNGuy]

Yup, wrote mine, did the SO, and her folks.

I have a binder, one in my fire safe, and one in the SO's fire safe with our important documents. Will, Living Will, Insurance Policies, Porn, etc.

Ishmael

Yeah, I have. Years ago, after my dad died, my mom dragged me kicking and screaming to the lawyer to have both of ours done (hers updated, mine new). She said it was for the boy, and of course she was correct. I've since had it redone (and she had hers redone too) so that every dollar goes to his special needs trust. None of it goes to him.

It's hard to imagine him living on without me. I want him to live a long and happy life, and then die one minute before I do, but what are the odds of that?

 

[Killswitch]

Yes it's important to keep them up to date by amending them or doing a new one.

Most people also don't need a lawyer or anything terribly fancy but there are some steps that need to be followed.

Pragmatic bitch.

Pragmatic bitch.

Ishmael

Hey, watch who you call pragmatic.

 

[Ishmael]

Hey, watch who you call pragmatic.

Sorry, don't kick me out of the league.

Ishmael

Can I have your still?

 

[Ishmael]

Can I have your still?

No. I've been training Vat and he's into the art.

I'll send you my recipes though.

Ishmael

 

[Riles]

I do, but with the impending divorce I guess I have to update it. My advance directives are in order though.

Who are you leaving your tits to?

[Riles]

Who are you leaving your tits to?

Ishmael

Science.


Dr.?

 

[Cathleen]

Yeah, I got the "Get your affairs in order," talk by a doc back in 2001. I was thinking of it the other day, needs some updating.

It's important to have one, you don't want the gov getting more than, well, anything.

 

[Ishmael]

Science.


Dr.?

Nah, I just prob.

That's a scary talk. I went through that with my mom.

Ishmael

What else are tits for?

 

[Cathleen]

That's a scary talk. I went through that with my mom.

It was unexpected for sure. I'm lucky to be here -- better living through chemistry, or chemistry keeps me around so it's a big win for me.

Thanks.

 

[Ishmael]

What else are tits for?

Tweaking.

Ishmael

 

[Riles]

Tweaking.

Ishmael

My tits need no tweaking, they are just fine as is so leave your tool(s) where they are.

Thanks.

For us too.

*chuckle* Fine, no tweaking for you.

Something just as important as a will or trust that should be considered. A letter to each person you care about because life is unpredictable and you may not get to say any goodbyes.

 

[Que]

Yeah, I have. Years ago, after my dad died, my mom dragged me kicking and screaming to the lawyer to have both of ours done (hers updated, mine new). She said it was for the boy, and of course she was correct. I've since had it redone (and she had hers redone too) so that every dollar goes to his special needs trust. None of it goes to him.

I was rather unpopular with the siblings and my mom for a while. My youngest brother was finally old enough to have standing before the court. State Farm had refused to pay for his medical care much less his special needs care. It was pretty awful. It couldn't have been helped but if it had happened to a neighbor child instead of her own son, insurance would have been automatic. Mom and all of the sibs were there when it happened. My mom and I performed CPR and saved his life. I was 15.

As my parents were aging, and its a small window of time where he could sue my mom and then the insurance that was in place kicks in. I had to take guardianship of my brother for this to work. The result was a settlement that would have taken care of him for life.

I then turned over guardianship back to my mom, along with the trust fund. My brother only lived a year or two longer. Still worth it. Because of the what ifs. Besides, the bastards at State Farm needed to pay. My folks had come out of pocket over $200K on medical bills alone. Some of it experimental. He lived 15 years longer than expected, and the data from his accident (and others) is used today in ERs to guesstimate brain function based on inter-cranial pressures.

Something just as important as a will or trust that should be considered. A letter to each person you care about because life is unpredictable and you may not get to say any goodbyes.

I have had a similar idea leaving a Vblog for different stages of my kids lives. I have yet to do it though.

I've written a few and I think I've another one to write. I thought about doing video but I find it easier to write out my thoughts than say them.
