This man is weighing a baby giraffe by standing on the scale and HOLDING IT!
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

When my sibs and I were of an age where it was relevant, I saw in my parents' will that in the event our custody was directed to my "uncles" Roy and Lawrence. I've wondered a bit at how that would have gone over in a late 70s/early 80s context.
OTOH, there wasn't much if any blood family left by that point - my bad grandma, and my uncle Jimmy, who now is fine but at the time was kind of a screw-up and unlikely to make waves.

Getting my husband to make a will and a guardianship plan was not fun. He hates thinking about end of life stuff, whereas I remind him every 6 months (whenever I see the dentist) to make sure he asks the undertaker for the gold out of my mouth.

And I just now realized that I put my post in the wrong thread. Oops.

I really really need to get a will done.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
For folks living in Virginia, my sister says that Virginia courts accept handwritten wills as binding.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why would handwriting make a document unbinding?

It's not that handwriting makes it unbinding, it's -- eh. As I understand it (not a lawyer), some states require wills to be done formally, with a lawyer, or a notary, or a legal form. In Virginia, a handwritten will is good enough. Whether this is true in other states, I don't know; it may be. My sister told me this when she was encouraging me to write a will, which I still haven't done.
