[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 717317, member: 1233"] To share a bit of info from the other side of the coin, I am more of the 'easy' child in my family. My parents were trying to update the will they wrote before I was born. They got fired by their lawyer because my father kept dithering and just couild not figure out who to make the executor. My difficult brother thinks he is executor because he is so good with paperwork. He is again in arrears on his taxes (last time he went 7 years - he was self employed at the time). His finances are a wreck. His paperwork is neat, in that it is all neatly stacked in shoe boxes. I nearly wept with relief when my mother told me he was not executor. I don't need him on that power trip. Although it would be nice to have them create a will that I was actually in by name, not as 'other progeny'. I am almost 50, after all. But that is my parents. Our kids split everything equally. Our will is actually fairly simple because my husband keeps insisting he will live forever. I wish I was joking. It is handwritten. We did it ourselves. He refused to see a lawyer because "there isn't any point". I think he only signed it to shut me up. [/QUOTE]
