it's an unwritten rule that the porn friend gets to keep said porn.

My two sisters and I jokingly divided up my parent's assets this way: K got the house, I got everything in the house, and G got the garden shed and everything in the shed (G was not there when K and I decided this -- majority rules). I've now pointed out to them that my parents have sold the house (and the shed), so now I'm the only one who is going to inherit anything (and that's everything).

I mean, hypothetically, if one had such things....

Digital porn? I wouldn't even know where to find any.

you gotta have a "porn friend", that person that, in the event of your death, hustles over to your house and cleans out all of your porn/toys/naughty stuff before your relatives come to clean out your place.

Or if one should happen to die of autoerotic asphyxiation, someone to... re-arrange stuff. (Was that in The World According to Garp ?) Or if the deceased is gay and closeted, someone to "straighten up." Or perhaps not.

It's widely agreed in my family that once my parents go, the most argued-over possession will be Maurice, their cat.

I remember my parents showing us their will when they wrote it up. The main thing of impact to us was that they'd named our decidedly bachelorette aunt guardian. We still joke with her about moving in when our parents die.

Encryption, yeah . . . and some instructions on where to post the unfinished fics.

Aw, those were good! Too bad I already sent that bad boy off with something like "pop culture, food and wine."

A belated, additional recommendation for Legalzoom. Their system was simple, informative and seemingly thorough and the customer service is good too. I did both a will and medical poa with them.
