#wills — Public Fediverse posts

"Across these centuries most will-makers took the trouble to describe in detail some of the items they bequeathed to particular relatives and friends. For instance Elizabeth Brickenell, a widow of Exeter, left a friend her third best petticoat in 1569, while in 1603 William Radcliffe of London left his sister ‘a gold ring with a picture of death’s head, for all her unkindness’."

Doing an advanced care plan / advanced care directive?

What's your thinking around resuscitation / major surgery after you're treated as incompetent / in a locked environment without free exit?

For anyone here who might die one day. What's your plan for where your rings, jewellery, and watches go? Is it going with you, or not?

@geneapleau I too have had some great success with the full text search. Particularly with #wills, finding those executors and beneficiaries you might never have otherwise located. #familysearch #fulltextsearch #genealogy @genealogy

I do have some openings for Estate Planning appointments in Oklahoma City over the next few weeks. My rates are affordable ($450 for my wills package, $1250 for my revocable living trust package), and I offer significant discounts to school teachers (at any level, preschool-college), peace & social activists, and neighbors, among other folks.

Details below on how to schedule an appointment: www.jmbranumlaw.com/estateplanning.htm

#askFedi Is there a site that offers a simple shareable setup for website succession?

Like "if I am hit by a bus, I have filled out this form so that these listed people with access will know who to pay and how often to pay for:
- hosting
- domain
- email
- visual design
- code design and work
"
Etc?

Like if you ran a business building websites, you'd need to hand all this off to the buyer?

This is such a brilliant idea, even if it's morbid.

I doubt I can make my parents do this tho. When I asked them to prepare their wills, they were visibly incensed. (In Asian cultures asking this is equivalent to saying: I want you to die faster 😆)

Then, I told them that I've already prepared a will for myself what's their excuse? 😆

Also, I reminded them that the govt will take their money if they don't do it. (Not really super true but the oldies believe it hahaha)

It worked.

Ars Technica: How to draft a will to avoid becoming an AI ghost—it’s not easy. “Trained on the data of the dead, these tools, sometimes called grief bots or AI ghosts, may be text-, audio-, or even video-based. Chatting provides what some mourners feel is a close approximation to ongoing interactions with the people they love most. But the tech remains controversial, perhaps complicating […]

@[email protected] @[email protected] #genchat #wills #probate One thing we could be better at doing is sharing the names of all the people we find in a will. Beneficiaries are not generally indexed, but imagine if you could search a probate archive like that. Some societies have done some excellent work on this e.g. Oxfordshire FHS, see an example here: http://wills.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/

'Perhaps surprisingly, given Marx’s frequent criticisms of religion, he repeatedly insisted that he was not an atheist, a denial I explicated in a 2019 paper on Marx and atheism.' #atheism #Wills
