Talk to your nephew. He will know the personalities involved and help guide you through the "icky" stuff. The good part is by the time your daughters-in-law find out what is in the will, you won't be here to listen to them....:)

Talk to your nephew about per stirpes distribution. It is a very good thing.

I have been reading the mail and one of the points made is that doing simple things now avoids complications later. Of course, many of the decisions depend on the type of assets and the type of family. But the basics are still making decisions, getting them in writing and then making certain someone in your family knows where to find everything if you are no longer available to tell them.
