“My mom told me she has a living will. That way she’s going
to avoid probate”
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this when a new
person finds out I was a living trust lawyer.
They go on to say, “She got one of those forms at the seniors’
center. You know, the one she can fill out herself. They even
witnessed it for her.”
I hate it when this comes up, because I have to set the record
straight, I have to let the person know that a “living will”
and a “living trust” are two different instruments that serve
two different purposes.
One, the “living will,” is your statement that “If I am
terminally ill or mortally injured (I’m using simple language
here to get the point across), then don’t hook me up to life
support that will never return me to life.” It’s the issue
that’s currently being fought in Florida, with Governor Bush
signing a law to keep a woman alive over her family’s wishes
and a court ruling.
Her “living will” has nothing to do with avoiding probate. It
is a health care document. Really it should be called a “death
desire,” but our society can’t handle that bluntness.
A “living trust,” on the other hand, IS a probate avoiding
document.
Basically, probate is used to transfer property you own when you die. If you have a will, your executor uses the probate court to carry out the terms of your will. If you die without a will, the laws of your state has statutes that describe where your property goes and who is in charge of getting it there.
So, if you don’t own any property when you die, then (generally…there are always exceptions) there is no need for probate.
This is where the living trust steps in. It called a “living” trust because it is created while you are living.
When you create a trust, you transfer title to your property to the trustee of the trust. You, as an individual, no longer own the property.
So, if you die, no probate is needed (remember, there are always exceptions), since YOU don’t own the property. The property is owned
by the trustee of the trust. The trust instrument instructs him/her on what to do with the property upon your death.
A “living trust” is a LOT more complicated to set up and maintain than a “living will.” They accomplish different tasks.
So, when you hear that a loved one has a “living will to avoid probate,” it might be smart to ask a few questions.
Good luck and until next time,

When soldiers die, how is a table set up in the mess hall?
Someone i know went to the board and they asked him how is the table set up when soldiers die, he wasnt sure of the question, but he said something about a whine glass upside down. can anyone help me?
I’ve seen more than one Fallen Soldiers Table setup. Two are described on these web pages:
http://www.homestead.com/proudamericans/files/Fallen_Soldier_Tribute.pdf
http://www.keiperslockandalarm.com/TheFallenSoldiersTableTribute.html
There are subtle differences between the two. One uses a white tablecloth and one uses black; one has dog tags and the other doesn’t; one has a yellow ribbon around the vase and the other has a red ribbon; one puts the lemon on the napkin and the other puts the lemon on the bread plate.
The items are placed in the same position on both tables. There are pictures on the second web site. That one doesn’t show the dog tags. They are placed on the table between the rose and the silverware.
Most common mistake – the lemon is SLICED, not quartered.
Use whichever one fits your needs the best.
