I've been working on "when I'm gone" stuff this morning. I get so overwhelmed when I try to do this. I know it needs to be done,but, I just can never seem to get anywhere on it because I get so overwhelmed with the whole process. I can't imagine what this is like for someone who has a lot of assets ... geez. What I would really like to do is wait until our land and house are completely paid for so I can divide it up and go ahead and give it to the boys. But, that's years away and if something happened now, they would be screwed. I went thru this with Mother,she thought she had it all planned out so it wouldn't be a hassle for us kids and it was a stinking mess! The part that always throws me is Emily. I can't ask Levi and Christi to care for her (for multiple reasons that I won't go into here). And, it wouldn't be fair to Seth either... I've told them both that when Mark and I are both gone to put Em in a nursing home. It is the best solution I can come up with.. and it sucks.

I'm thinking the best solution for everything else is to sell it all and divide the money.

I have contacted a lawyer friend to at least get a Living Will written. I need to push Mark a little harder to get him to go to the funeral home and find out about pre-planning insurance...

getting old SUCKS!!!

Have any of you taken any steps to this end?
