I was talking about this over Easter dinner with my attorney father and mother, much to my sister's chagrin (they aren't going to die anytime soon) I am executer of their estate but honestly didn't know what they wanted. I know now and am Ok with their choice, and will carry out their choice when the time comes.

I brought up the fact that I had a living will, a DNR, and a will for quite some time. My dad gives me a quizzical look and says, my office didn't prepare it did they? Nope, found it on the internet, and had it witnessed and notarized. He kinda coughed a bit and said, well... and this was not as one of those money grubbing lawyer types talking either -- he said you want to make sure it won't be overridded... have it done by a professional... The internet forms really aren't all that ironclad.
