Big afternoon planned (not really). Going to get our new wills signed and witnessed at the local shopping centre. Then off for a late-ish lunch to celebrate our mortality. There shall probably be wine involved.
*After the signatures.

My brother passed away recently and I’m executor of his will. I am sure learning a lot about #legal things. Most of what I’ve read does not have “see a #lawyer” near the top of the “to do” list. I’m adding it to my list. Can’t wait to learn about probate and other things I never learned in school (sarcasm). #death #wills #executor #LearningCurve

[...] The vast bulk of the wills, of course, were created by the local middle and upper class property owners to ensure that the distribution of their possessions was carried out according to their wishes."
