On my to do, should do list. We both have family issues. Perhaps, the reason we are avoiding making the decisions. As far as estates and wills. My parents, not in Florida, had their will by a small attorney. My dad passed first. When, my mom passed, they did not have much. Any item of value was listed as to who gets it. Fortunately, neither my sister or I chose to dispute their wishes.
The attorneys-the copy of the will we had was with a white cover. The valid one has a blue cover. The attorney who prepared the will went out of business. I found her. She claims she sent the blue covered copy to my sister-proof none. Sister said she does not have it. Long story short, it cost us several hundred dollars in legal bills at a time of stress to get an official blue covered will.
Do any of us relish the thought of our relatives fighting over whatever property you will leave behind?
