I am in someone's will in kind of a bizarre way. It is the written instructions to reproduce a particular art piece years from now. The current piece has been destroyed and is in "instruction" form only. I am not to produce the piece until my 50th birthday and the piece is only (requested) to last for a set time before it is destroyed and passed on by instruction to a future art scene. It is not without burden, but also with a sense of joy.
That sounds wicked cool!


No way!:eek: God's honest truth! I was head over heels for a white boy at Temple School of Dentistry at the time. It scared him to death.
I don't think anybody in my family has a written will. It's all pretty much verbal but we hope that they take their debts with them:biggrin1:
I wish some of my family had done that. We've had too many phone calls for a little sumthin' to help bury long lost cousin so and so.

Everything is to be divided evenly between my brother and me. As it should be, unless you have a sister too. :tongue: Funny you should say that, though, njqt. Daddy is terrified that everything he has worked so hard for will fall into the hands of "the white man." I told my father that whatever he leaves me will be liquidated and donated to the NAACP and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
He is determined to live forever, the old goat.
Only the good die young.

Q: Am I in anyone's will?
A: From what I hear, less than I once was.
You naughty boy, what did you do? :tongue::confused:

I am an only child and I think my parents feel that I am going to automatically inherit because of that. However, from what I know of my extended family, I think it is very important that they have a will, because I KNOW that I'm going to have relatives coming out of the woodwork claiming that the house and land is THEIRS! My mom's younger brother has already said as much - said that he would inherit the house and land from my parents. I also have great aunts and uncles who claim that the land is theirs - and even that my parents took what was theirs away from them! It could get ugly...

Now granted, when (and if!) I do inherit my parents' house and land, I'm immediately putting it up for sale, and using the money to buy my own home. I do not want to live where my parents live. I grew up there and didn't like it then, and would really not like it now. I will keep some of their belongings for sentimental value, but I don't want the upkeep on a home and land that is in an area that I don't want to live.

Ma asked me what my opinion was of her choice to leave control of a substantial amount of property to one of my sister's oldest friends. I gave my opinion.
Oh God!:eek: property, say no more!:redface: There may be bloodshed on Thursday regarding a piece of land that has been in my moms family since 1813.

Oh CRAP Patsy! The wedding is OFF. Off I tell you. LOL. Let's just sit tight, shall we? hahaha.
I have been told this weekend that I am to inherit a substantial, lakeside property property from a former lover (she told me this). She is a good 21 years older than me and never had children. We have remained friends. So that was a surprise and thoughtful of her.
I was also told I would inherit from and older guy I have looked after who also had no children that I would be taken care of.
I am told by my parents what I will inherit when they pass, but I will believe that when it happens since in my family wills are changed ad nauseum depending on who kisses the most ass. I refuse to do that and have been cut out of wills in the past as a result.
Growing up, it was a given way of life that people inherit. That's it. We congratulated one another on inheriting, not being sorry for the benefactor's death. Good old family politics being what they were, my parents were both disinherited so that sucked. My parents may change their minds before they pass away.
All I know is that being told one will inherit is absolutely nothing to count on.

I won't kiss ass either. So be it.

Well that sucks, Goodwood. I hope you don't do the same to your kids.

My kids (even though they may do a lot of stupid things) will never be able to get themselves disinherited. I do not believe them capable of evil, and so far I've been dead right.

In fact, my kids have been so instrumental in my own growth and development that they have already earned every penny that they will inherit.

Shortly before I die I'm going to sell my house and blow the money on ornamental thimbles, that'll show the little buggers :)

I don't know if you've ever seen this in the UK but here some retired people put a bumer sticker on their car that says:

"We're spending our children's inheritance"

We have remained friends. So that was a surprise and thoughtful of her. Damn! You must be some kind of good lover! :naughty::05::flirt: I was also told I would inherit from an older guy I have looked after who also had no children that I would be taken care of. I am told by my parents what I will inherit when they pass, but I will believe that when it happens since in my family wills are changed ad nauseum depending on who kisses the most ass. I refuse to do that and have been cut out of wills in the past as a result. Neither my family nor my extended family are wealthy. Other than some land on my moms side and some blue chip stocks on dads there isn't much to leave anyone. Mom's family is prone to drama. When her brother died my junior year in high school, his lawyer beat us home from the hospital to read his will. :biggrin1: It was sort of like being on Dallas only weird and minus the horses. :redface:
Growing up, it was a given way of life that people inherit. That's it. We congratulated one another on inheriting, not being sorry for the benefactor's death. Good old family politics being what they were, my parents were both disinherited so that sucked. OUCH! My dad's sister changed my grandfathers will and forged his signature so that she got the bulk of the money. My parents may change their minds before they pass away. Pfffttt :tongue: don't sweat it babe, everything good is in moms name. I can float us for a bit. :biggrin1: All I know is that being told one will inherit is absolutely nothing to count on.
AMEN! I refuse to live my life hoping that one day I might get something from so and so. I'd rather do what I want, when I want; and let the chips fall where they may. :smile:

Yeah as far as I know I was told this: If anything happens to us, we are worth half a mil each,the house is paid off.. Bring the will and these papers to your uncle, he'll figure it all out for you guys.

Well as in the old Temptations song. About papa: And when he died all he left us was alone. As a matter of fact, when my mama died she left us the same thing papa left us. No wills needed for extremely poor hill folk. But, I did get the old trunk that has all the old family photo's in it and the family bible. As for myself. Being a recent divorcee, who was left some bills, which took my half of what we got out of the house when we sold it to pay these bills off, I am broke. I have a car that is paid for and two life insurance policies for my two grown children. So now I am saving money and if I live long enough I will have another house. I will then make a will for my children. They are beneficiaries of my checking, saving accounts and life insurance so there is no need for a will yet. And I am planning on living several more years, so I have a plan.

It's better to be a good parent to your kids while you're alive than worry about leaving them cash when you're dead.
I agree!

I forgot, when my nana died I was in high school. My cousins came out of the woodwork and picked the house cleaner than a chicken bone by a fat lady. :mad: It was shocking and sad at the same time.:frown1: My cousin Gigi remembered how I liked "that old stuff" and she put nana's old hope chest aside for me. I still have it and I still love it.
