It's a legal document, so the law will be "looking out for you" -- specifically your executor.


Not if your wife destroys it!


That's what I mean. People can jerk you around. After death.


My attorney emailed signed copies to me, which I forwarded to my parents and my named executor. I'm single and they live far away so for me it was really just to give them quick access to everything should they need it and the name of my attorney who holds the second signed copies. I have a binder of everything in my office at home.
