[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Why don't you just get a will? The biggest problem with probate is that it can take over a year. In that time, DW and DC have no access to any assets in your name. [/quote] DW is beneficiary of my retirement accounts. Those assets she'll get quickly. Doesn't seem worth the hassle to get a will just to cover a few lesser assets such as the house and car. [/quote] Why would you do this to her on purpose? Just go to LegalZoom or Nolo Press and at least do a simple will online. Not complicated, and will make the process easier should something happen to you. [/quote] I'm not sure what I'm doing to her. We've talked about this. She'll have to get a lawyer anyway when I die no matter what. Wills need witnesses, etc., and who knows where the heck they'll be when I die. Give it to the lawyers, she doesn't have to do much. So what if it takes a year or more. She'll be OK. [/quote]
