FWIW: The trick to finally getting the aliens to come to terms was reading a will out loud until they begged me to stop. They're far more useful than most people think.
Ahhh. There’s the rub. Perhaps my Executor could read my Will out loud, but it is only two pages, so it’s not really a bedtime story. Only my kids will be there (and maybe their kids) to learn that my daughter is being written out. Whatever she has of mine now is what she is going to get.
