[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 450102, member: 2211"] Yes, DDD, this is a great opportunity to point stuff like this out. I have a living will, advance medical directives in place and H has life insurance that goes to me or the girls as contingents. We do not have a will, as we don't own anything except tools and cars. But, as things unfold, you can bet that will be our next step. I even had the girls do a living will and advance directives-anyone over 18 should have those as medical decisions are out of a parents hands once their child is a legal adult. Also, I think H's parents believed they had everything in order....aaahhhh, no. I still can't believe this house was not bequeathed to us in father in law's will, it just doesn't make any sense at all to me, especially now that we know he likely knew he was dying. When he was paying off his house and car and getting all his financials together to send to his daughter, why didn't he change that ONE line item in the will? Or, at the very least, add H as co-owner on the title? Stupid, stupid, stupid. I am having a difficult time with these questions, in case you can't tell? Hahaha. When my mom goes, there will be nothing to fight over, no need for probate-one of the few perks of dying in a nursing home I guess. Her funeral is prepaid, so we maybe will have to spring for a church service, but that's it. That, I can deal with! [/QUOTE]
