Look, it’s simple. If you are over the age of 18, you should have a will and all of the other important legal documents (medical directives, power of attorney, etc). You should for sure have one if you have any assets over a thousand dollars. You absolutely should have one if you have kids. I remain gobsmacked at the number of people who don’t. I’m actually somewhat angry at those in their 60’s, 70’s, 80’s (i.e. My parents — too many other Boomers. It always seems to be the Boomers) who don’t. Look, I understand. You think you always have tomorrow. You think you’ll put it on the list and get around to it. You think you’re in good health so why bother. You think it’s too complicated. You have a million other excuses… And they’re all bullshit. Because, you see… You think your will is for you. It’s not. You think it is to make sure your wishes are carried out. Partially, but not really. It’s for all of those you leave behind. Look, I have too much direct personal experience with all…
