This is a good topic. I'm sort of on the other side of the fence as I'm half your guys age. I was in the thinking of I won't need a will for 40 years or so. But after a good friend's grandfather passed away, I started changing my attitude. Grandpa George's collection of everything was taken by the state and auctioned off at a silent bidding meeting. the land was developed and all his stuff crushed and never saw the light of day again. His 2 sons got nothing of their fathers as the stuff was gone before they knew it. Some of it may have been their neglect, but I doubt it. I don't want my stuff being a hindorance for my family or wife so I've been compiling a living will just in case.
