I'm having a real effort not to warble "The Circle of Life" about now.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Me three. I can't believe a spouse would only get 50% and parents would get 50%?!!? I thought when you married it went to your spouse! Maybe it's a crazy Maryland law? Geez. That sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I should have a will. What I do have is half-price Easter candy, so that's something?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's property you own in common with your spouse and property that you own separately and they are treated differently as parts of the estate. And how they are defined and how they are handled varies by state.

Nope, that's not that unusual.
Dying intestate is not recommended, folks. Which reminds me: I should do something about that, as well. I don't have much worldly goods worth worrying about (except for all my books, yikes), but I have retirement money I would want to go to my nephews and niece for their college funds.

If nothing else, it seems worthwhile to save my mother (god forbid)/other heirs the headache of dealing with it. As per Maria.

Exactly. It would be dumped on my sister, like everything else, and I hardly think that's fair to her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
LegalZoom is totally easy and not expensive. I just went there and filled out the questionnaire for changing my name, which I've been meaning to do for, oh, ten years now.

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
Axl Rose wrote a crazyass letter to the R&R Hall of Fame that he's not wanting their stinking induction and not showing up and OMG Steven Adler is at fault for hurting my fee fees.
It's awesome.
I'm so hoping the Beastie Boys show up and perform. Chuck D is doing the induction thing for them!

Hubby and I are members of AARP, I bet they have legal angles to explore. It's surprising how beneficial membership in that has been, if just for the free coffee at Denny's.
