I can understand that. Currently, my wife and I have a sort of "blanket" will that names a couple of charitable foundations as beneficiaries and little more. We have no offspring and my sibs are either dead or aging as well; no way I'll saddle them with the job of executor. Important for me, as I'm facing a couple of rough months health-wise, but estate planning is not at the top of my list. Stuff like "surgery", "palliative care" etc. have grabbed most of my attention. Nobody lives forever--and few live as long as they expect. --Chuck
