“I do think about death, and the family are rather wonderful about it: ‘Have you made a will? Can I be in your will?’”

Am I the only one who thinks saying this to someone is rather presumptuous? I might write someone out of my will just for asking this of me.

Yes, I agree. My son knows we have a Will & trust...but not who/what is in it. And he will not know till we are gone...

@About 10 years ago sent a letter out to grandkids and neices with bunch of financial resources info for them as they were all working and facing 401k, etc decisions...it really was a ruse to find out if any were interested enough in financial stuff to be an executor ...none were...so we found an attorney we trust.

Probably not.

I only say that because Ive seen some really odd posts by various people about what they think a will is for so one has to accept that anything is possible. Over the years Ive seen comments on this forum about how, um, satisfying(?) it will be to finally get back at children and exact revenge on once loved ones through their will. Ah, yes. Making great memories for those left behind and getting yourself a special place in the afterlife Im sure.

For every great person you meet here there is at least one real $4!+ bag you should be glad you never met in real life.

It was a joke.

One of my in-laws is from a different ethnicity than WASP. I say stuff like that and it give offense. I've had to explain WASP straight-face witticisms. It's an art. The proper response is a raised eyebrow, a sardonic glance, or at most, a titter behind one's hand.
