@standinginfaith I need a boyfriend. I'm sure after doing all that work after your parents passed, your sister really does not want to deal with your stuff and is thrilled you will be leaving it to him. I am in the process of trying to get rid of things now so whomever gets the uneviable task of dealing with my estate will not have as big a task as I did with my parents'. They will probably just pay someone to have an estate sale.

@standinginfaith TOD can also apply to bank accounts… the larger ones can be divided up and designated for certain people as you wish…I did several, for several family members…probate is expensive and can be slow as well…some people chose different kinds of trusts….as to the stuff in your home, my lawyer says if it isn’t specified to pass on to someone, there are estate sale companies that can help with that…presently, I am trying to clear out things while I’m still here, get them homes with people who need and can use them. Slow, gradual process.
