Depends on the state but usually half to your kids and half to your parents

No kids obv

Yes, there are quicky wills. In CA I believe you need 2 witnesses. Don't need a notary.

"I Suzzer, leave all my worldly possessions and property to X and Y, equally."

There, go at it.

PS Not your lawyer and this is not legal advice.

PPS The other stuff she wanted you to sign doesn't matter. However, if you own a house and want to avoid probate (6-12 months delay for simple matter and a few % of the estate to the lawyer [fixed by statute at a sliding scale: e.g., 4% of the first 100k, 3% of next 100k, etc.], then you need a living trust and need to put the house in the trust and notify mortgage holder and record the transfer to the trust. You can also do a medical directive, but it's probably only valid in CA and most other parts of the US. May need a notary for that.

If you have more than $5M in assets and are single, get a lawyer (unless the new tax bill becomes law, then yolo, no estate tax (or cap raised to $10m for a single person, depending on which version becomes law).

Or, if you're feeling bold, draft a "holographic will" and keep it in a safe place that will be found when you dead.

(2) Under § 6111(a) of the California Probate Code a "holographic" will is a will that is in the handwriting of the testator and signed by the testator. Such a will does not have to be witnessed.

Note, the above only applies in CA. Each state has its own requirements for wills, though there are many commonalities.

Ok how about this?

"I Suzzer, leave all my worldly possessions and property to my Mother and Father, equally. Should one be alive I leave everything to them. Should neither be alive I leave everything to A, B and C. It is also my wish that if I die before my parent(s), anything left not used by either parent go to A, B, and C equally."

Put in a baffling request too.

I think all to your kids is more common. To your parents if you don't have kids. Then to their surviving offspring [your siblings] if no living parents and then their kids. If nothing down that line then go up to grandparents and down to their descendants.

You should def make them spend 1 night in a haunted house in order to get the money.

That's fine. Final provision is a bit vague, as it basically vests discretion in your parents. It's arguably more of a suggestion than a legally enforceable requirement.

Or you could get a dog and leave half for a caretaker to apply to the use and enjoyment of said dog, should you predecease him. May need to establish a trust and designate a trustee for that, then leave half the estate to the BowWow Trust.

im going to put in my will to dump my ashes in front of a blockbuster

actually no im planning on not writing a will. im not going to have anything anyway. except my twoplustwo writings.

Its kind of romantic to have lost everything and have nothing.

get a script for aluminum chloride deodorant called drysol. you put it on like once or twice a week at night while you sleep and it does well to end pit sweat. and yes, that includes from opiate withdrawal (or so I have heard). I use it about once every few months now.

I haven't had any conversations or searches about pit sweat or the like and the same ad showed up recently in Tapatalk on my phone.

Maybe that company is pouring a lot of money on to advertising and their internal studies show that men who use Tapatalk sweat a lot?

I stand by my position that everything in Virginia outside of NOVA is deep south.

I have an adderall script, so more an active upoers junkie not a recovering downers junkie.

I'll give the super deodorant a shot.

You can't drive to South America.

Suzzer is dying?

He scurred that AI might make his vacation photos look rainy

This would be probably be so vague as to be unenforceable since money is fungible. It seems like what you actually want is a trust that pays out to your parents while they are alive and then goes to A, B, and C afterwards, but you're gonna need to have something professionally drawn up for that.

It's better to die intestate. You'll be remembered longer and by more people with a lengthy probate process.

The Silence Breakers

Awaiting Trump tweetstorm...

I think he's in good health, but his mom is going to murder him so she can inherit his possessions. Ice, ice cold.

In other news, AlphaGo got bored one afternoon and decided to learn chess (also shogi). After about four hours it was playing at a higher level than Stockfish (the current champion AI). Ultimately beat Stockfish by a score of 25-3-72. There's even a catty footnote from the authors about how the drawishness of chess made it hard to run up the ELO score on Stockfish.

ME: Seems like a big deal that this go AI started with zero domain-specific knowledge and became the best chess-playing computer in the history of the world in four hours.

REST OF FORUM: Lol AI. Call me when the computer can... *looks at notes, flips through pages with increasing speed and agitation* ah, yes, write superhumanly erotic historical romance novels.

Creates a huge traffic jam, though.
