  - kid, your face is an enjoyable ro.....no, wait. dammit. - prayformojo Oct 16, 15:05
- A -- nm - JD Oct 16, 14:45

- C -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 14:25
- n/a -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 14:24
- B or B+ -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 14:24

FWIW, I don't see any estate issues when I die. - Mop Oct 16, 14:09 31
- This was posted just to get people to talk to you about your ex again, right? C'mon. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 15:01
- In many States, you are assuming incorrectly. If you die without a will, many States take a share of your estate, much larger than the share or -- (edited) - jnine Oct 16, 14:58
- Then you honestly don't know what you're talking about. - spamlet Oct 16, 14:53
- just fyi - here at least, if you die without a will, basically everything is held by the banks for a year (probate) before you can touch it. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 14:15 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:22
- it is not just about who gets what, it is who gets what and who you name to be responsible for your kids. - groiny Oct 16, 14:15 17
  - Well that sounds horrible. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 14:19 15
    - I don't see how that really changes anything. I assume my will would stipulate that my ex-wife would be guardians of the children. And vice-versa. - Mop Oct 16, 14:20 11
      - And also, you really do not want to assume anything when it comes to your kids. - groiny Oct 16, 14:25
      - The will would have a secondary clause saying who the back up is. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 14:21 9
        
        yup, not to mention issues with money, and whoever is responsible for kids in that event, how much access to that money that they get. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 14:24 8
        
        You mean my debt? -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 14:26 7
        
        well, sure, I am sure that too. You have to have life insurance? -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 14:28 6
        
        Through work. My ex-wife is the beneficiary and then the kids. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 14:30 5
        
        and what happens if the kids are not 18, and the ex is not responsible? -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 14:35 1
        
        Or the kids are 18 and are irresponsible. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 14:59
        
        Not to harp, but if anyone that said no to having a will needed a will? It's you. -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 14:31 2
        
        I fear what would happen if my sister in law, or brother in law, were to end up somehow responsible for my kids. - groiny Oct 16, 14:42 1
        
        Yikes!! Wow, yeah, not good. Glad you have that buttoned up -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 14:47
    - when I spoke to the lawyer when we thought my mom was not going to make it, he brought up all kinds of shit as to why i (we) need it. - groiny Oct 16, 14:20 2
      - We thought we were in good shape until my FIL died. Have to do all that shit again. - spamlet Oct 16, 14:56
      - yup. no matter how much family gets along, throw money in a pile and that can fall apart right quick -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 14:21
  - And that. -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 14:16
- no. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 14:15
- Ummm, probably not. - znufrii Oct 16, 14:12 5
  - That sounds good. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 14:18 1
    - Then put it in writing that that’s how you want it. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 16, 14:20
  - Yes. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 14:15
  - Unless his parents get upset -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 14:13 1
    - Or that. - znufrii Oct 16, 14:15
