Will

[pne]

Do you have a will? (As in, "this is what should happen to my property after my death"?)

If so, since when? What made you decide to draw one up?

How complex would you say it is, on a scale from 1 ("Everything to my sister") to 10 (drawn up by lawyers, detailed accounting of all your belongings, codicils for whom to disinherit should they do X thing or conditions à la "Person A gets object/sum B only if they do C"; basically, the works)?

We have wills. It was not too hard, just a visit to a solicitor to say what we wanted, then back in a few days to make sure that what he wrote was what we said.

We got it done when our son was little, mainly because he existed. The goal was to make sure he was taken care of, and to name the people who would decide on his care if we both died when he was a minor.

Nothing fancy, fairly painless.
