My soul is none of their business
I hope my family is better than this family, but I've set up trusts to ensure shit happens without them and I'm leaving them plenty of their own.
Thats probably the way to do it, the trusts, cause obviously people are not to be trusted
I've long since realized that death brings out the worst in people, at a time when it should bring out the best.
Look at all the drama and family disputes that happen due to inheritance.
I'm sure my kids will be cool about it, but I'm not leaving anything to chance. Well, I'm leaving a few things to chance, 'cause I have yet to set up trusts for them. I have a trust set up for my cars, but it only gives inheritance to Biff with my kids getting x-dollar amount to take a car out to remember me by. It doesn't establish stewardship beyond that. Basically, I left enough stocks/bonds so that the collection can be maintained even after I die - in perpetuity so long as the US remains solvent. It's similar with my guitars.
I need to establish a couple of LLCs in which to leave the trusts, with firm rules about controlling members and stipulations about growth and restrictions on selling.
