What is the best way to draw up a will right now?

47. Thank you everyone that replied

There are plenty of opinions I had not considered nor known about.

The place I paid for cremation is nearby and I checked with them not too long ago to make sure it was still good as I paid $1600 for both of us after my father died. It was horrible! My mother and him had never discussed the issue and she did not know what to do with the dead body. He was cremated and his ashes sat around for months. Eventually they were scattered to sea as is our plans as well.

The place is still here and still open and doing a good business but the price is about 2X the amount now for two persons.

As for the DNR's I had done, those were ASAP after Dad died too as he'd was in a horrific state being kept alive by machines that I managed to get disconnected.

Because of what happened to my father, Mother and I both immediately took care of business so to speak as we did not care to ever think this could happen again.

So as it stands now, neither of us would be kept alive if it came down to it. A hell like my father's situation drove me into action and that was over 20 years ago now.

However, after paying all that money to that lawyer and so many involved at that time, I let it go figuring it would all pass to my husband if I were to die.

As it now stands, both of us could go if we are unfortunate enough to get hit with this tRUMP sh*t that has infested the USA.

I thank you all again and please try to keep this thread going so others can see it and read it too and think think think just like test test test!

Both of us only care about the cats. The rest of what we have is valuable to a point but nothing like being millionaires or even close to that as we've spent time in poverty on and off since my DX of MS in 1995.

Its been one hell of a ride and if it ends with this COVID virus, well I guess that is God's will for us.

I did speak to a close friend re: these issues. He is one day older than I am and we are good friends and he was willing to do everything. There are two problems with him. One is that he does not understand what an executor is and what an executor needs to do. I doubt he has the patience for such a job and going up against my idiot brother would be a hell. I wouldn't wish it on anyone as he is such a disgusting ass.

Another problem is that he is not well either but I'd rather see him have a place to live than where he is now which is in a run down trailer with a hole on top of it with a tarp covering it to serve as a two-bit form of protection from the elements. He pays $350/mo. for this place to live.

Thanks again everyone and I am glad I am not alone. We are all in one hell of a damned mess. God help all of us no matter how you believe.
