I'm just finishing up a complete overhaul of my will / trust / estate plan / beneficiary designations. What a drag, both from a chore standpoint and psychologically. But important work if you actually care about the people in your life. No better way to harm the family than to leave them to fight about money. My father was an estate / probate lawyer, having drafted countless wills over the years. And yet he died at 87 years old leaving no will of his own. I think he just didn't want to face his mortality. And what a mess it was to clean up. I won't be doing that to my people.
