    WILLS

    Something you don't think about, but something everyone needs. We're going this week to put the final wording into ours, our last one was about 40 years ago. It needed some/a lot updating. Doing the Living Will too, no runs, no hits no heroics.

    Have you got yours up to date? Do you have one? If not, don't wait for the State to decide about your property.

    Oh yeah, gonna be buried in Eddies front yard so I can say hey when he goes to the mail box.

    We've had one for years, and update it as necessary.

    My front yard? Perfect. Make sure you're buried face down. I need to replace the mail box and need a big hole to stuff the post in. :stickpoke:

    Buried face down in a shallow grave....... now there's an honourable Arizona tradition for you!

    All I own is a couple of grand worth of used ham gear and a pickup truck that's almost old enough to buy itself a drink. If the state wants to fight the XYL over that, they're welcome to it. Everything else is in her name.

    I do have an advance healthcare directive, however.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I have thought about this, though. I'm outdoors enough that if I get smushed by a logging truck, or slip off a cliff somewhere, I'd want someone to finish the job before I become a seven-figure liability. My folks are still alive, and of sound minds, but who knows...

    Oh, and no unauthorized grandkids.

    Yeah, my AHD is quite short: "Pull the freakin' plug!"

    My sister was worried about me passing away (i am very elderly) so she sprang for a Living Trust. That was a real PITA to get done, with all the things that needed Notarizing in it. wasn't cheap either. Not sure if it says anything about the radios. Think they are still headed to the DUMPSTER including the FT5K!

    don't have a will, I also don't really have any property. What very little I have would just end up in a trash can. and well I would be dead anyway so care I would not.

    Everything I have goes to my son, sorted.
    Medical will made, sorted.
