Plan ahead - no Audi content

[Mike Arman]

No Audi content here, but something all listers should read.

Partner and friend of mine had a stroke in May, and is now in a nursing
home. His wife has exactly three questions: "When will he die? How much
money is there? Where is it?"

Unfortunately, he has no will, no guardianship, and no provision for
problems exactly like this. His wife holds ALL the cards, has complete
control over all his assets (among other things, she closed his office,
abandoning the entire contents to the landlord, and refuses to pay further
rent out of HIS account!), and there is NOTHING that can be done legally -
she's in total charge.

Please, people, draw up a will, and also make some provision for someone
you can trust to manage your affairs if you are not able to.

He never quite got around to it because his retirement plan was to live
forever, and now it is too late for him or anyone else to fix it.

Thanks for letting me vent a little.

Best Regards,

Mike Arman
