I know this is off topic but still very important. Has everyone visited a lawyer to have these important documents drawn up to protect your children & assets?
My hubby & I did this last year, took about 2 evenings, & $250 to protect my daughter and her money if something should happen to hubby & I.
So please consider this if you have not already.

We did this earlier this year at a cost of $200. My parents had just made out their wills, leaving money to my brother and I, which was to be split equally between ourselves and our children. The children's money would be placed in trust funds until they are 21 years of age. When I got to thinking about their wills and how they'd planned, I got on the move to plan our wills also. The Living Will was the hardest one for me because I teetered between wanting every possible amount of life-sustaining procedures to keep me going....to just wanting to be made comfortable and allow life to cease when it's meant to. It literally took a couple of months to make a final decision on that. And I still second guess myself from time to time. LOL! :-D By the time it's ever actually needed, I expect it to have 20 pages of revisions. LOL! :-D
But you're right. It's good to be prepared. :-D
