Didn't want to hijack Tactical's thread. My wife and I are in our 70s and have no kids. My sisters and her brothers are self sufficient. Several are liberals. Most of our nieces and nephews are liberals. Tradition would dictate that we split our estate among the nephews and nieces. We have decided that doing that would result in our assets being used to work against the things we believe in. Instead we have 2 worthy heirs, one nephew that joined the Marines and one niece that is, against all odds, a registered nurse. They will be splitting the estate which is significant for this area. Has anyone been through this type of situation and were there any issues that arose? We are sure some will feel they are entitled to be heirs and they may think poorly of us but we don't care.

To give someone $.02 once you're dead means you wasted your chance to be honest face to face with them when you were alive. If it wasn't worth your $.02 being honest then, why bother once your dead? I know from spiteful...my mother threw shoes away one at a time so strangers wouldn't find a pair of shoes and be able to use something she had no need for. This seems to be on that level of spite. What do I know, that is only my $.02 worth.
