I have a will we made after my first son was born (he'll be 23 in July); I guess I should have it revised so my kids inherit instead of my ex, although I don't really have anything to leave them.

Yes but at the rate they're going all 3 of my children will have spent their inheritance by the time a will is read.

Yes, definitely, made one after my mother died and I realized no one else in the family would have a clue as to where I wanted my money to go; also wanted to make sure my cat (cats at the time) were well provided for. Also wrote out my obituary at the same time; again, realized my remaining family would not really know what to put. Writing my mother's obituary under short time constraints was also an enlightening experience. Writing my own was actually a positive thing, as I reflected on what the important milestones in my life have been.

Pamy, you are so right about a trust. It protects the estate from the clutches of the state. My mom had a will but not a trust, so it was subject to state taxes.

No but I should, because I don't want the vulture of probate to take so much of it.. of course if I live as long as I'd like to live, there won't be anything left anyway. I need to set up a trust. My parents had one and it helped a great deal when they passed on. I don't have kids and my brother has no real financial needs but I still should set things up.

Absolutely Yes! DH and I both have wills, no children, but he has lots of siblings and I have 2 siblings. And I have a lot of family heirlooms with much setimental value and history behind them. My side of the family is big into geneology and I love having things that I know my great grandparents and back have actually "handled". And we own property which we do not want the State of get!

Yes and I just recently updated it to exclude the ex. Mom even updated her's before she died to make sure he wasn't in it. My family has always kept this updated.

Morning everyone! Whew! I am so glad the board is back up. I missed you guys!! Looks like all of yesterday's stuff is gone, so let's just have a do over. Today's question is: What is your favorite Easter Candy? My favorite is Reeses PB Eggs! I predict that Halfunit will say Stale Peeps!

I was attempting to post here yesterday when the board went down. (No, I didn't do it!) I don't care for the typical Easter candy--nor did my kids growing up. I will eat a black (only) jelly bean or two or a chocolate marshmallow bunny. But a few years back I discovered Harbor Sweets. And look what they have for Easter in both dark chocolate (my favorite) and milk chocolate:
What's inside I order these Sand Dollars as gifts for people occasionally, too:
Sand Dollars are my absolute favorite The rich, dark chocolate covers pecan and caramel.

Peeps, stale ones, like Halfunit; although, those Cadbury hard shelled eggs that I've been munching on all morning are delicious. ETA: Actually they are called "Cadbury Mini Eggs"...solid milk chocolate eggs with a crisp sugar shell.
