Re: Have you made out your wills yet?

We did wills when the children were born mainly because our son is adopted the attorney said to state "Any children born to or adopted by this marriage.....". We appointed an executor and who would care for our children. 

When they were 21, we went over the will and made obvious changes with our attorney. There have been inheritances by parents and grandparents to DH and me over the 50 years and investments & property we didn't own since the 1st will. We added a medical power of attorney and a DNR for each of us. 


That is boilerplate, standard language in everyone's will and in probably all of the states.
