Personally, I have neither. One of my New Years resolutions is to create both and I have the software to do so on my own. There is a program called "WillMaker: and I'm hoping this is everything I need to get the job done. You never know when the good Lord will call you home, so being prepared is a smart move.

I have neither.Chris said, "You never know when the good Lord will call you home, so being prepared is a smart move."LOL

For someone with my vast assets, creating a will is a liability. You can't trust anyone to not kill you if they think they might inherit your fortune.

Having just endured the deaths of my mother and father in the last 18 months, the issues surrounding end of life concerns and wishes are fresh in my mind.My wife is a Hospital Chaplain so much of her professional life involves walking people through these challenges, but usually in the face of extreme crisis or major life changes. She and I have living wills and have specified advance directives for the time when decisions regarding our life and death are out of our hands, and in the hands of caregivers or medical professionals.One resource for structuring the conversation regarding your end of life is a document titled "The Five Wishes"1. Which person you want to make health care decisions for you when you can't make them. 2. The kind of medical treatment you want or don't want. 3. How comfortable you want to be. 4. How you want people to treat you. 5. What you want your loved ones to know. The Five Wishes document walks you through the answering of these questions in plain language that keeps you connected to actual decisions with real consequences. Click on the link above to access a PDF example and look for yourself to see if you, or a loved one, are prepared to navigate the often treacherous labyrinth of acute and intensive medical care and treatment.My Father and Mother and myself had spent ample time discussing these issues and were not left unprepared when both of them had to face the end of life directive they prepared in advance: Do Not Resuscitate for cardiopulminary failure and remove any external life support if such failure arrived.My wife has horror stories of families facing these decisions with no advance directives, living wills, medical power of attorney, etc.. Being in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital is no place to begin these discussions.

Regular will, the Marine Corps makes you fill one out. "...the great events in life come from the books, rather than the people, one comes across." - Robert D. Kaplan, Mediterranean Winter: the Pleasures of History and Landscape in Tunisia, Sicily, Dalmatia, and Greece

In case I die before I complete my will and living will here it is.I leave everything to my girlfriend except my books, which go to my father. I would like her to share my stuff with my father and brother and his family.In case I become a veggie and have no realistic chance of recovery pull the plug. I don't want to starve, dehydrate, or die a painful death, so I would appreciate being given drugs to kill me (yes, euthanasia). If this is illegal smack me in the head with a shovel.
