Update your plans

The drive to Mad City was just that .. Maddening.
Traffic on the beltline at noon is similar to rush hour.

But we made it to the attorney's office with time to spare.
It was time to review our Estate and Living Will.

We met with our new attorney Rebecca. I think my husband was smitten with her brilliance and smarts. Her beauty did not evade his eyes either.

She was pointed and courteous asking direct questions that got her the answers needed regarding updating the paperwork. We went over assets and debts and quickly went through updating our POA paperwork.

Reviewing your future needs and assessing what you have and don't have are very important things even to do while you are young.

Yes, it may even cost some money. But peace of mind is a great thing to have.

One of the things that keeps us focused on this is all of the issues we've had over the past few years with my MIL. However now with her having a court appointed Guardian we can concentrate on visiting with her and not worry about sorting all of her finances out. Plus she never made a Will but since she has an appointed Guardian, whatever is in her estate is no longer available to any heirs.
Thus there will be no fighting when she does pass on.

I've seen too many families, including my very own relatives argue, fight, and cause rifts because no one thought to prepare.

The drive home was much nicer.

One more meeting and we are all updated.

I know this is not a subject most folks like to talk about. But hey.
It is life
and
death.
