Mobile Bumpers: You know what else we did?

We got our wills done. We had talked about it and decided that since we were seeing the notary for the house, we might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone. And so voil?! Our wills are done. One less thing to worry about.

Good to have it done!

Good for you!

We really need to get this. We're kinda stuck on formally committing, in writing, to guardians for the kids. I really need to do it, though!

Good move!

That probably feels like a relief.

That part was hard - Thank goodness we have small families, too.

Can I ask for details on this? I mean. did you just type something up and have it notorized? Did you have an attorney or anyone review it?

what kind of items did you include? was it just for the kids specific.. Did you write plans for if one of you in on life-support- and your wishes as far as how long to 'hold on' and such?

sorry if that is too much- feel free not to answer- I'm just curious, H and I have talked about this a million times, we've just not done it yet.

There was a case in FL about a woman whose H wanted to pull the plug- but her family didn't.. and it was long and faught in court and a huge mess for the families.. since then we talked out kind of our wishes and figured we'd put that in our wills to keep the mess out of the family/drama/courts--- ((Teri Shivo was the name if anyone recalls the case))

I assume thing smay not work the same here, but you basically have 3 types of will that have legal value in this province:

- Holograph ( handwritten)
- Typed and signed by 2 witnesses
- Notarized (prepared by a notary)

We went with the 3rd option.

We kept it pretty simple: If I die, everything goes to H. If he dies, everything goes to me. If we're both dead, then everything is split equally among the kids - and if they're minor when that happens, then we have appointed legal guardians + someone to handle the money until they turn 18.

Our will was really written for the event of our death, so nothing about life support and such. That would actually be a different document (well, here it would be anyways). Something else I should probably look into now that you mention it.
