We've drifted a bit here but estate planning is important. My mother passed 3 yrs ago and her estate wasn't a problem. My dad was still alive so he kept everything. My dad passed last fall with no will-my brother and sister both had brought it up with him and mom many times, they refused. That leaves me, my brother and my sister wondering what to do with his belongings. It also creates a mess when it comes to things like transferring titles on his house and cars.
Better to have something in writing and to give things away while you're still alive.
