If you are an adult who is making a living and has $ and assets in a bank, real estate, stocks and otherwise, EVERYONE regardless of age (but especially those who are married and have children), "should" have a WILL, a Durable Power for Health Care and a Durable Power of Attorney for Finances.

Today I make a will here in Spain. It's supposedly quite a different process from what I'm used to in the US, aside from the language difference! A notary does a lot of the work of writing out the will, not just verifying your identity.

The will governs only one's assets in Spain, but I do need to account for those.

An 83 year old woman who was not included in her wealthy husband's will has gone to court and been awarded half of the estate - almost 1m worth!

Losing a loved one sucks.

You can make it easier on your family when you shuffle off this mortal coil.

But you have to do it now. You can't come back after you die to help them figure stuff out.

This is so beautiful. From the will of John Atkyns, Scrivener of London, 1640:

".....I give and bequeath unto my most lovinge wife Mary Atkyns, to whome I wish I had more to give, for if I had tenn tymes as much as I have it were nothinge answerable to that which shee hath deserved at my hands for the sweete disposition, love & affectionate care she hath shewed to me and myne."

Really interesting about all the genealogical publications (I recently learned of Collins's peerage, first published in 1709 & being updated in 's day by ) - and of claims to authenticity based on ", records, old ".

This of the outside of the box holding all your stuff. FWIW, you are not alone. My main concern is not many in my family will recognize the more valuable pieces without my input. Im considering an annotated inventory of what Ive got. I should have it for the insurance company anyway , ,

my sleep deprivation made me read this as play deed and thats probably a great estate planning role playing game.
