[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 399373, member: 1233"] I am aware of my parents' will. Just about a year ago they finally wrote one with my name in it. before that it was gfgbro and any other children, lol. I have a feeling that my share goes to my kids given the way my mother has reacted to the limits that her behavior and gfgbro's earned from us. I know that gfgbro is the "executor" because "he is so good with paperwork". I find that hysterical because up until a month before they did the will he had not paid ANY income taxes in over 10 yrs. He had to pay them all at once when he got put on payroll at the university as a maintenance person, lol. Before that he had never worked a job that took out taxes so he just didn't pay or file. Cost my folks a bundle to pay that off for him. Of course he "paid" the taxes - then had them pay his bills for several months so that they "weren't paying his taxes", lol. But he is hte "responsible" one. I am just glad not to have to be saddled with all of it as I am sure that my mother did it with minimal legal help and LOTS of help from her "smart pills" aka speed. I have dealt with other things she has done that way and they are universally difficult. This should be a good reminder for those of us here to make sure our own affairs are in order and to speak to our parents and any adult children and/or siblings about our wishes and our parents wishes. Having this be a secret is a problem for those left when we pass. [/QUOTE]
