My goal is to at least start on my estate plan. I have already paid an estate planning attorney who is a friend of mine and who gave me a F&F discount but I have not begun working with him, in part because there are some uncertainties that need to be resolved for us to start the work. I did write a will, had my psychiatrist and a former roommate sign as witnesses, had the psychiatrist write a letter saying that I had testamentary capacity in his professional judgment, and sent both documents, the handwritten will and the psychiatrist's letter, to my son. The will is a stopgap measure until I have an estate plan. I am in good health and this is in case I get run over by the proverbial bus.
I am very interested in death planning and will be reading your thread @
FloatThruThis as you progress.
