Idaho COVID Insanity Shows How Much Worse the GOP Can Get

24. I guess having a will is hardly considered.

I am a huge advocate of having a will. I've been pestering one friend of mine for several years now, and he's still dragging his feet.

I made each of my sons draft a will when they turned 18. Took them to our attorney, told them I didn't care if they left everything to a home for unwed cats, but they absolutely needed a will.

This paid off, so to speak, when my younger son died in 2017. His will was straightforward. He left everything to his brother. He did have a somewhat sizeable estate because his grandparents had gifted him, and his older brother, every year from when they were born until the grandparents died.

My older son has recently made a new will and a trust. Hooray for him. The only problem is that he leaves everything to his parents, with no younger successors. In the normal course of events he'll outlive us, and needs younger heirs. I've spoken briefly with him about this, but really do need to push much harder.

My will names my son as my heir, with other relatives as successor heirs if he predeceases me.
