[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3265790, member: 6281"] Its already incredibly difficult as my siblings are living out of state and my folks are getting to that point where they need a LOT of help doing simply things. Dad suffered a stroke last year and he's like a 5 year old now and mom is sharp as a tack but has battled cancer all of her adult life and is also having mobility issues. I have to buy them groceries and deliver to them because neither of them can walk that far, and things like that. I'm grateful to be able to help because they took care of me when I came into this world and I'll help them leave this world with both pride and great sadness. I appreciate the kind words. Thank you for that Sincerely I did basically the same thing. Took my Grandmas old will and reworded things, names, etc and had two witnesses (my boss and front desk admin assistant) sign it and print their address, along with my signature and the admin assistant was a notary, so she stamped it and it was a legal document. No where does it say a lawyer has to prepare anything to make it legal. A lawyer will take any confusion out of the puzzle if your situation is a difficult one. No different than preparing your own taxes if you have no outstanding circumstances that make it more necessary to get a professional CPA. My will simply says my parents become the owner of all my assets if I die before them and if they are deceased, my sister and brother are to get equal 50/50 split of the total value of everything. I am divorced and have no children so that is the most difficult part of it all. Now I'm approaching marriage again and at that time, I will change it to leave everything to her. Easy peasy [/QUOTE]
