No problem with a probate judge, Bob. We've got living trusts set up and running -- which means the estate (if there's anything left) doesn't get probated (or, in other words, doesn't make it to the public domain).
As for ALL of your accomplishments -- is there anyone beside you that knows 'em all? Nope, I betcha not. Yes, I do admit that there are some things that you've (probably) done that you don't remember, but that's not what I mean.
Anyway -- if you want things told when you've croaked - you tell them to your obit before you kick the bucket.
As for you, Oz -- yup, I know it sounds a bit weird/uncomfortable - - talking about our own death. But - since it's likely to happen to each of us someday -- why not accept that fact and do some of the stuff you'd want done - - and do it before you're gone?
Remember, folks -- this is an idea I thought I'd bring to the table/Forum. If you all think it's a crappy idea - we'll just drop it. If any of you want to send something to me for posting when you hit the dusty trail -- send it along - but not as a post on the Forum, hey? We don't want folks to think that you've died until you really have died.
