A living will is a document that states your wishes in case you are in a serious accident or a coma and are not able to tell people how you wish things to be handled. This is done so if you are not able to speak, other people, including your family, will know what your wishes are. If you aren't familiar with a living will, you can read about it here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1051133/what_you_should_know_about_your_living.html?cat=17 So, do you have a living will? Happy MyLotting! Char

Hi char~I don't have a Living Will at this time. I know that I should, but I just don't right now. While my mother is still alive I don't feel I want to upset her by getting one for myself. She has one for herself because she is 78. I know all about them because I worked as a Legal Secretary for over 20 years and I am fully aware of what they are for. I guess at some point I will also have to get one and I will also have to re-do my Will and find a new Executrix. I no longer speak to my friend who is on my current Will and I need to change the whole thing too. So everything on it needs to be amended so when I do that I will make out a Living Will also.

Hi Opal Yes, as you probably already know, it is very important to have those legal documents updated regularly. You never know when something can happen. Thanks for your response! Happy MyLotting! Char

I do not have since I do not have someting important to pass. All belongings are merely cheap so no need for me to have a will. If Im in a state of no longer speaking my mind then maybe my family should know what to do with it.

Thanks for your response! I don't really have anything either. About the only thing I have is my wedding rings and a ring that was my mother's and I would want to make sure that my son gets those. Nothing against my husband, but I want to make sure he gets them and not hubby going out and selling them. Happy MyLotting! Char

no I haven't made a living will because this is something you have to make seriously with a lot of thought, and I am not sure if I would want to be on a respiratory or not for example.
