[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 660912, member: 17635"] While we are not looking for legal advice, we are curious about experiences anybody might care to share? husband and I (59 and 62 - long past will-writing ages!) finally have an appointment with an attorney Thursday. We love our three offspring equally, though we do not especially like the eldest (Difficult Child). If any of you have dealt with this, and have advice to give us, before we enter the attorney's office, we would be most appreciative. Our very vague plan includes: dividing the $$ in any accounts equally (there will not be much, but that is not the issue). Giving youngest child our newest car and Difficult Child our oldest car. Middle child is a total motor head and would never drive anything we own, haha. Daughter also will inherit a diamond (my grandmother's wishes when she gave it to me). So, we would like to kinda "even" that out for the youngest son by giving him the newest car. Though, it might be 10 years old by then. Then, include the two youngest offspring - NOT Difficult Child - in the liquidation of the house and contents. That, also, would not amount to major $$. But, we would want it written in the will that Difficult Child could not be part of that process. Difficult Child would turn that into a miserable experience, though he certainly has no wishes on anything. We have tried to get him to take furniture, etc. in the past. Naah, he hates all of it. If you have already been through the process, we welcome your wisdom. Thanks, SS [/QUOTE]
