Serious question: Who should I name in my will?

[Uben]

26. Good question

I have a neighbor in his late eighties. He and his wife, who passed a few years ago, were both career teachers. They scrimped and saved their entire lives and amassed about three million dollars. They have no kids, only a brother and his two kids, who are chomping at the bit to get that money. I suggested he leave a portion to go into scholarships because the schools are where the money came from. Dunno if he did it, but he seemed receptive to the idea. So, you might think along the lines of what you would like to see the money do after you are gone. I am an avid fisherman and enjoy putting together Kid Fish events for the local youngsters. We purchase fish and put them in small ponds for the kids to catch. We cook em burgers and hotdogs and everything is free. I am leaving some money to be used for that purpose in my will. I also have money earmarked for the local youth center because that's where I spent my summers as a kid. I see it as giving back to things that made my life better and me a better person. I bet there is something you would like to see carried on that you benefitted from while growing up.
