We are well aware of the problems inherent with distribution of wealth/assets.
Prior to re-doing our will, we brought our four sons together for a discussion. We are incredibly fortunate that they have always been very close to each other, and supportive in highs and lows of their individual lives.
The decision was easy, as they made it, and also decided which one of them would be executor.
Total trust, total agreement. We also discussed the possible alternatives... illness, sudden death, division of major property, and subsequent possible decisions based on all of the eventualities they could imagine.
Not only did this give DW and I peace, but it allowed our sons to discuss the subject between themselves easily, and to make decisions for us, should it be necessary.
BTW... our sons are probably older than half of the ER members.
