This is a really great thread and the OP is right on the money with what she is saying! Can I just add and support the person who mentioned this above...it is absolutely imparative that we have a living will, advanced medical directive, guardians set up for skin kids and fur kids alike. My dad is the head partner of his own law firm and one of the things he specializes in is estate planning (which is all of the above.) He always tells clients that the worst tends to happen when we are unprepared! It's the wimpy syndrome from popeye..."I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!" This is one of those things in life to do now, to do when there is no crisis and to be prepared in case of an emergency because as we all know stuff happens in life. If you don't want to pay for an attorney to do it just google the topics of the trust and estate (which I listed above) and make a rough one yourself and then go have it notarized. I think one of the most important parts is the advanced medical directive. It specifically states what you would want to if something happen concerning medcal situations. For instance mine says that I am an organ donor and also that if my brain is dead not to put me on life support! We also have a secret word we have given to our kids in case we needed to send someone to get them who they w some things to think about! Thanks luvmypuppe for wrting this thread, |
