This section is not intended to help you write your own will. Some items which I place here may be things you might want to think about before going to see your attorney. Some things may be quirky considerations that strike me as funny. Or they may just be unusual things that have come up in my practice. When you do see your attorney, your attorney should, of course, listen to what you want. If your attorney does not know that you want to provide for your cat at your death, or gaurantee that your sister is not appointed the guardian of your children, how can they make those things happen? But you should also be prepared to listen to your attorney. While I have some clients who seem to show me too much deference, to the point of asking me how to split up their property, or not wanting to actually read any of their documents, I am sometimes surprised to have clients show resistance to the oddest things, sometimes not wanting to hear the very compelling legal reasons for my suggestions, and those will be the subject of my first blogs in this area.

We are not going to have any more children. Why should I list what will be inherited by children born after my will is written? |
