Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
No worries, le n. Even though paralegals have legal training, everything they do must be supervised by a licensed attorney. The same goes for law students.
I'm just a fanatic about this right now. Outside of Rob's actual death, his dying without a will is the absolute most stressful thing to me right now. It causes no small amount of anger, even though I *know* he didn't intend for it to be this way.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm an overweight smoker. According to all the handwringing literature, I died 5 years ago.
You're an awfully pretty zombie.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
President Barack Obama injected himself into the debate, urging Americans to "do some soul-searching." `'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said March 23.
If he answered the question asked at a press conference, has he really injected himself into a debate?

Maria, thank you for mentioning the living will and medical power of attorney portions, I forgot that that is something I may well have to have in the future. He has a daughter from a previous marriage who has kids. There is very rare communication, but she is there and has a legal impact. At the very, very least "Everything to my wife" should do to go on. I think there may actually be papers at the hospital that say I get to say what happens.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not accepting this, since you are, in fact, all alive and stuff.

It's worth being fanatical about, Maria.

she is there and has a legal impact.
Without a will, she is entitled to 50% of his estate (based upon common examples of intestate succession. I don't know specifics for Utah.). If she passes before him, her children are entitled to her 50%.
At the very, very least "Everything to my wife" should do to go on.
Yes, but he should also make provisions if you should go before him. "I leave everything to my wife, Connie Neil, but if she predeceases me, I leave everything to the Utah Cat Rescue League." If he doesn't want his daughter or her heirs to have anything under any circumstances, it should be explicitly spelled out. "I leave nothing to daughter and/or her heirs and assigns."
I think there may actually be papers at the hospital that say I get to say what happens.
You should verify that. Or she can assert herself as his daughter. Then you may end up in court in a Terry Schiavo situation. (Worst case scenario--I am in no way implying that it's going to happen.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'm somewhat ambivalent about a will; I'm single with no dependents and no surviving grandparents. My parents are my only immediate family, and they're named as the beneficiaries of my retirement plan and have access to my savings account, which together are about 95% of my net worth. And I could trust them to handle the passing out of photos and mementos to the rest of the family and my closest friends as I would wish. It won't really be a pressing concern for me unless/until my folks predecease me, which hopefully will be far off in the future.
