And the children suing ate up a lot of the estate money so no one had
anything when it was all said and done with!! <lecture time> Be sure you
have a really good will/trust all written out AND all the heirs and
non-heirs know of your plans BEFORE you go. A good book is called "Beyond
the Grave" talks about all the hard feelings from wills and estates. Worth
the read.
