put everything in writing ---no matter who's getting what . When my mother died , she had a total of 4 wills , all at different times of her later years . We had to go with the last notarized document leaving all the belongings ( Approx $10K ) to her twin sister of which she had no real relationship . I didn't bother myself or sister ---- but my cousins went crazy --- all three of them thought it should have been theirs . Two of them wouldn't talk to their mom for years . Wanna see family get ugly ---- just have a family member die and watch the their real character come out .

if you are asking how like, how to actually do it, ask a lawyer. If you are asking how,. like who to leave what to, I'd say consider leaving some property and resources to your church, they can sell it to fund their ministry or whatever.

if you didn't have any family, only a very few friends that really mattered (would come with just a phone call, yeah, most of y'all are too far anyway) how would you make out a will?
I do not want the state to get my boat/truck etc. and even though they may not be worth that much cash wise, they mean something to me.
how would you handle that chit? I would only listen to Uncle Zeek on this and not anyone else on here. Their advice is always suspect You avoided mentioning him by name, but I know you’re talking about rj.

My youngest son , prolly the milk man's kid, is a 6 year old hell raiser. If you want him, I will drop him off. Then you will have someone to fish with and leave your stuff to.

I’m no lawyer but isn’t a Trust a better option than a Will? It’s my understanding that a Will has to be probated in court where as a Trust doesn’t. I have no idea if that’s true. Generally true, but there are higher legal fees with a trust. You might consider holding some assets under joint tenancy with rights of survivorship with some of your heirs. When you croak they become the sole owner. I'll do a post soon about the pros & cons of the different estate planning methods. It's not 'one size fits all'.

I mean, who has a best friend who routinely wears 3 hatz and talks about “jimmy jacks”? People with terrible decision making skills such as his are not to be trusted.

Put it a scholarship fund for the trade school or college of your choice.
How about a scholarship for the fishing team at a local school?

My mother was executor for a ladies estate who had no heirs some years ago. She had a hand written will which had been witnessed. She named the things that were important to her and specific people to receive them. The small house she lived in and her car were to be sold and the proceeds went to her church. Prior to this she had all her friends over in the last few weeks of her life and had put a post it note and a name on house hold items and requested they take them with them. She always kept a little crystal bowl full of candy out which as a little kid I raided everytime I was there. I got the bowl. It was kinda strange but cool at the same time.

I'd think you'd handle like any other will. Name the people you want to inherit your stuff and specifically exclude any blood relatives.
One of my clients had a friend that recently left them $10,000. Surprised them... ^^^ This for sure

I’d start transferring some properties/assets now to avoid taxation and paperwork issues. I believe the maximum per individual/entity is 15K annually with loopholes for higher amounts.

Had a rich childless aunt and uncle and they died and tithed 10 per cent to their church The rest they split between their nieces and nephews. Of course there were about 24 of them to split between
