Default Re: Cancel your credit cards before you die

Kind of off subject (is there a fine?), but some years ago one of our sons, using one of our cars to join us on a camping trip, arrived and pointed out that our car registration was about to expire in two days. We managed to find a local Motor Vehicle Department office (we were in our home state) and stopped in on the next weekday to inquire why we hadn't received a renewal form. The response: "You won't receive a renewal form on plates that you surrendered." I invited the clerk to come into the parking lot to see the clearly un-surrendered plates still firmly on the car. There was nothing she--or the manager of the Motor Vehicle office--could do to remedy this other than to issue a temporary registration and refer the matter to our home county's Motor Vehicle office. It took them FOUR MONTHS to figure out how to fix this seemingly simple problem which we attributed to someone having a dyslexic moment....
