Making a will, or updating an existing one, is the right thing to do There is nothing like writing a will to smack you with a hefty dose of recognizing your own mortality.
As I prepared to have surgery to replace my bum knee, my partner and I decided we probably ought to get our paperwork in order in case anything unforeseen happened.
Both of us had made wills previously. But they were more than 20 years old, so it was time to update them, and we need edto get the Medical Power of Attorney paperwork together, as well.
