Get a Lawyer and write a living will!

Then it precedes anything else.

If you are single, leave it to either a Charity or Your Greek Organization>


Is this Rubic Cube Puzzle?

He likes to read the post and write a reply that has nothing to do with the question. See the depledging thread in sorority recruitment for an earlier example.

I am in Wills, Trusts, and Estates and it is kind of the bane of my existence because it's boring, so I will raise this hypothetical at my next class.

You should stop posting and bang your head into a wall.

Whoever said the laws vary from state to state is right.

I would imagine that the rules for this vary a great deal from state to state. Go see a lawyer, or if you're wanting to do this cheaply (and a lot less reliably) go to your nearest law school's law library and find your answer in the pro se section (most law schools maintain a section of books for non-law trained people to answer their own basic legal questions).

I'm quite positive that would be Mr. Earp - the all knowing one.

I'm going to go with valkyrie on this one - cat's need to have provisions in your will so they can maintain a staff after you are gone.

33 - I am going to send this to my brother just to piss him off. He hated this part of law school (which is why he is now involved in something with environmental law).

Doubtful anyone here can answer that -- it depends on the state where you live, and I think all of the lawyers on GC know better than to give advice over the internet, especially given that laws of this kind can vary so much from state to state. (Did we mention that inheritance laws vary from state to state. )

Good general advice, except a living will has nothing to do with inheritence, which is what she's asking about.

Dani and I may want to borrow Drolefille's bamboo stick of righteousness to shake at you!

Passes it over to you...

I hate all of you.

I thought this would be a somber thread but I laughed instead. I'm a poet and don't know it.

OKAY, she has a will!

She can change it to anything she wants.

If 33girl wants to follow who should get her assests when she is dead and cold, unless she has a direct blood relation such as a daughter or a son, then it follows to the nearest blood line relative.

Father or mothers brother/sister = Aunt/Uncle if alive, next would be cousins.

That was how it was explained to me. That is if you do not have a will and it goes to probate and is left in the hands of a judge of the court.

Having a will is very important as if you dont, relatives will come out of the wood work if you have any amount of money or goods.
