In response to "FWIW, I don't see any estate issues when I die." by Mop

it is not just about who gets what, it is who gets what and who you name to be responsible for your kids.

what if your ex wife and you both die while on the phone with each other?

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
