Yeah, I know we ought to have done it sooner... but hey, 5 months out isn't too bad. We also decided against prenups, if that adds anything to the discussion.
So we can draw up our own living will, sans lawyer? I'll check out the boilerplate thing and see what I can find. Where does one keep these things on file (wallet/purse comes to mind, but is that practical)?
No, neither of us have actual wills. I have one family lawyer in Seattle (we're in PA) but the rest of my contacts are still in law school, lol.
Nor do we have life insurance... I always thought that was for when someone was older, but then again my father had a very dangerous profession and when he died suddenly/accidentally, the life insurance was what kept me and my mom alive. So I wonder if we need to do that, too.
Any other suggestions on legal protection for married couples? I appreciate any insight here.
