Mortality

I have just learned, as I sit here, that nothing helps you contemplate your own mortality more easily that a 12 page letter from your own lawyer that begins:

In accordance with your request, we enclose for your review proposed new Wills, Revocable Trusts, Health Care Proxy, Declaration and Organ/Tissue Donation Forms, Durable Powers of Attorney and Deeds of Gift. In order to assist you in your reading and understanding of the drafts, I have briefly summarized their provisions.

If a summary is 12 single spaced pages, it is hardly brief.

Just the same, it is kind of humbling to think that your entire life, and the arrangements to tidy it up, can be so neatly summed up.

I know how you feel. I had my attorney work on my will, etc. It's also amazing to realize how little I have to give away.

We soooo need to do this. The main reason is that our children we have chosen to go to two friends instead of family and that would definitely need to be spelled out in legal documents. I'm so happy that you have all that set up for your family. It's important.

That's precisely why I refuse to deal with life. :D
