How is will doing?
When at the Death Cafe, we might wonder about whether cremation or burial is the 'way to go', but the legal stuff also might make us worried. So what's the difference between a Power of Attorney and a Will?

In Scottish law, there is a principle that no one has the legal authority to make decisions for another person overt the age of 16 unless you have. a Power Attorney (Adults with

If you are an adult who is making a living and has $ and assets in a bank, real estate, stocks and otherwise, EVERYONE regardless of age (but especially those who are married and have children), "should" have a WILL, a Durable Power for Health Care and a Durable Power of Attorney for Finances.

I'm 72 and have had these since I was 50 and, even then, it was too late and should have had them drafted/executed earlier.

Today I make a will here in Spain. It's supposedly quite a different process from what I'm used to in the US, aside from the language difference! A notary does a lot of the work of writing out the will, not just verifying your identity.

The will governs only one's assets in Spain, but I do need to account for those.

An 83 year old woman who was not included in her wealthy husband's will has gone to court and been awarded half of the estate - almost £1m worth!

Losing a loved one sucks.

You can make it easier on your family when you shuffle off this mortal coil.

But you have to do it now. You can't come back after you die to help them figure stuff out.

Today I read Compton Mackenzie's will and (in a separate research surprise) discovered that Vjta Sackville West's phone number in the 1920s was Weald 14.

This is so beautiful. ❤️ From the will of John Atkyns, Scrivener of London, 1640:

".....I give and bequeath unto my most lovinge wife Mary Atkyns, to whome I wish I had more to give, for if I had tenn tymes as much as I have it were nothinge answerable to that which shee hath deserved at my hands for the sweete disposition, love & affectionate care she hath shewed to me and myne."

A person can create written instructions regarding how they should handle their burial. If you want a particular individual to handle the burial preparations, Get in touch with an Agent for the Disposition of Remains.

@rbreich gift the clothes, table service etc, to friends, relatives… Likewise books that are not collectible could go to local libraries where you might find them again. This of the outside of the box holding all your stuff. FWIW, you are not alone. My main concern is not many in my family will recognize the more valuable pieces without my input. I’m considering an annotated inventory of what I’ve got. I should have it for the insurance company anyway , ,
