Thread: Have You Written Your Will?

If I get a good job in the US as promised, I'll put the old mate in the will.

We made a deal this Summer.

Can't green you, BG, but brilliant post!!!

Yep, and the follow-up wasn't bad, either.

NR, if you don't make a will (in Canada, anyway), your spouse or parents take over the estate. And if you want to give certain things to folks, often they don't know or won't give it out. It's quite a cumbersome task to get rid of everything, and people, especially family, can get really nasty after the sadness has gone. For example, my Aunt (RIP) burned all of my Gram's diaries after she died. Fek! Decades of her life gone. Then others swoop in and just take sh*t.

I got a lot of it sorted last night and have designated certain items to friends. Most of the antiques and carpets will be auctioned off for a college fund I set up. Most of my insurance goes to my Thai god daughter for her uni education (she wants to be a vet). All of my beloved celadon pottery goes to my best bud. My books go to another life-long pal -- he once chastised me for ripping illustrations of Enoch Arden and The Lady of Shalott out of my Gran's Tennyson's Poems book (c 1911 -- her inscribed date so she was about 12 at the time). Some of the other classics are The Rubaiyat (1912) and Dr Syntax: In Search of Consolation (1936). She gave me tons of books -- not a bad little library for a stupid American, eh?

My Bear will carry some of my ashes back to Thailand. So, Qs for you folks: How much for a temple ceremony and how much for a chedi? Some of my friends' ashes are in chedis at my temple.
